The sun has begun to set and I hang up the smile I’ve worn all day, though I will make sure it is the first thing I put back on in the morning just in case it is “that day.” I want her to see me at my very best.

　　I do the normal routine, eat dinner, clean the house, write—the usual stuff. And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand new sun. But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snicker will turn into a burst of laughter.

　　And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep me company until my new day arrives.

　　When I awake it’s with such excitement because I tell myself this could be the day that every other day has led up to and the first day of the rest of my life. I quickly don my smile because I do so want her to see me at my very best. Then I look out the window because, even though I know it’s dawn, I still have to confirm I’ve been given another chance to find her.

　　And there it is…the sun, even when it’s cloudy; somehow I still see it. And it smiles at me and I say, “Thank you,” and I smile back.

　　Then I ask myself, “Is this the day?” And the excitement rushes over me again. And then I ask myself, “Where’s it going to be?”

　　Maybe it’ll be at the water fountain, and, unexpectedly, there I’ll find her, and much more than my thirst will be quenched. Maybe it’ll be at the grocery store and there she’ll appear as I’m picking out fruit, and she’ll show me the difference between fresh and spoiled. Then, from that moment, nothing that I eat will ever taste the same because she’ll bring out the simplest beauties in everything I see, taste, smell, hear, or touch.

　　Or maybe today will be the day when my angel brings an item up to the cash register without its price tag. And as I wait behind this angel with all the frustrated people who are in such a hurry with their busy lives, I will find myself with such blessed extra time. Just enough time to start a conversation with this beautiful vision standing in front of me that I might not otherwise have noticed, but, because of a “price check on register 5,” I was able to find her.

　　Thank you for the sun, which began my new day. Thank you for granting me the faith when I arose this morning that I would find her in this new day. But most of all, thank you for me not having to ever wait on another sunrise because whenever I want to see it, I will look at her and there it shall always be, in her eyes; she will forever hold it for me.

　　She is my sunrise, my dawn, my new day.

　　【譯】

　　太陽將要下山，我收起掛了一天的微笑，不外我會確保來日早上第一件事就是將它又掛回去，以防這天就是“那一天”。我盼望她看到我的最佳狀況。

　　我按平時的法則吃晚餐、掃除房子、寫作——做著日常事務。然后我躺下，愿望能快點入睡，新的一天就能快點到來——領有新生太陽的嶄新的一天�？僧斘姨稍谀莾�，等候著世界的晝夜回轉時，我想到了她。有時我會笑起來，有時那微笑變成了竊笑，然后竊笑又常常變成爆笑。

　　也有些時候，我的喉嚨像是被一塊貨色哽住了，胸口發悶;有時那種傷感席卷而來，我開端流淚，眼淚經常越流越多，我再也無力抵御悲傷，敗下陣來。然后不知怎的，我在或喜悅或悲傷中飄揚，逐步入眠。然后夢幻開始伴我左右，直至新的一天到來。

　　醒來時，我高興不已，因為我告知自己今天也許就是之前其余日子為之打下基本的“那一天”，是我余生的第一天。我敏捷掛上微笑，因為我真的很想讓她看到我的最佳狀態。然后我朝窗外看去，因為即便我知道當初才剛破曉，我仍得斷定自己可以與她再次邂逅。

　　它在那里……太陽，固然仍是云霧重重，但我還是看到它了。它朝我微笑，我道了聲“謝謝”，回以一笑。

　　而后我問自己：“今天就是那一天嗎?”高興之情再次充滿全身。然后我問本人：“它會在哪里呢?”

　　也許它會藏在飲水機里，沒想到我真能在那里找到她，為我生津止渴，取之不盡。也許它會躲在雜貨店里，我拿起生果的時候，她就呈現了，她會給我展現新穎和變質的不同。然后，從那一刻開始，我所嘗到的所有滋味不再一樣，因為凡是我看到的、嘗到的、聞到的、聽到的或摸到的東西，她都帶出了它們最簡略的漂亮。

　　或者就在今天，我的天使把一件不價錢標簽的商品拿到收銀臺。我在天使身后排隊，看著身心疲乏的人們忙繁忙碌地過日子，慶幸自己得到了這樣的額定時光，讓我能夠跟眼前的倩影閑聊一會兒，否則我興許會錯過，但只由于一句“請到5號收銀臺付款”，我就能找到她。

　　感激太陽，它是新一天的開始。感謝你讓我今早一起床就滿懷信念，曉得自己能在這新的一天找到她。但最要感謝的是我不用再等下一個日出，因為無論我想何時看到它，我都可以看向她，它總會涌現在她的雙眸里;她永遠為我留著。

　　她是我的日出，我的拂曉，我簇新的一天。
