Turning On The Sun

A cold and stormy spring has been
Our legacy this year
Inclimate from west to east
From Halifax to here

My baby puppy raised in rain
Is content to play inside
My younger girl's insane to run
When Environment Canada lied

But my old grey veteran is sad
Summer has not begun
My sweet old man just simply wants
Me to turn on the Sun

Another cloudy day has dawned
He goes out in the run
But the dark brown eyes that see my soul
Say "Mom, turn on the Sun"

For you, my man, I'd do anything
To make your life a happy one
But I have no way to tell you
I cannot turn on the Sun

It's summer now, the sky is blue
The younger whips frolic and run
Nike reclines upon his chaise lounge
And his eyes thank me for the Sun
