Oh the sunshine that filled my day,
All my worries would fade away.
Bringing me joy, laughter, and peace,
Ironing out problems, even the crease.
*****
Up every morning and smiling so bright,
A welcome sight from a hard long night.
Warming my heart with your love and care,
Preparing my day from all that dare.
*****
The comfort of friendship fills my soul,
The joy you bring, youll never know.
Your glow and brightness fill my heart,
Oh sunshine dont ever part.
*****
What are these clouds that begin to appear,
Is it a sign a storm is near?
I begin to seek shelter, but none is found,
Alone and scared, I stand on the ground.
*****
The cold winds of bitterness begin to blow,
And unforgiving rain starts to flow.
Flashes of anger begin to strike,
Running from trouble, I begin my hike.
*****
The resenting pellets hurt me so much,
And beat on my heart, which is sore to the touch.
Trapped in the open, I long to hide,
Only to save my stubborn pride.
*****
Where will I go and what will I do?
This storm is mighty and powerful too.
Where is the sunshine I used to know?
Why did you leave and where did you go?
