Shine On

This is the only time of day.
The rest of it is night.
But, when the light of your august dreams
Reflects through the directed beams
Of the sun,
Then the clock strikes "holiday."
My quadriceps contract and churn
In a dead heat run
Til I can fall
In a heap
With you,
And smile,
And enjoy the fun of seeing
Dreams come true.

So, keep shining, Shiner!
Shine on! Shine on!
Beat the time in me!
Beat the daylights out of the day,
Then hurry home and see,
Your destiny doth beckon.
