Sunshine,
Such a fleeting thing
One moment it’s out,
The next it cowers behind a cloud.

What makes the sun shine in your world?
The sun brings life and growth in its wake.
So what is your sun?
What makes you bloom?

My sun is constantly changing
Its orbit—hazardous
Sometimes it is scorching me
Other moments I am freezing.

But those moments of light
Are worth all the troubles it brings
For nothing is better
Than being surrounded by warmth.

Light warms the heart
And thaws bitterness.
It works to make you better
Then you believed you could be.

The sun is my life
For it melts my numbness,
Forces happiness back into my body,
And frees me from my burdens.

When the sun comes out
My tears disappear
There is no need to pretend
For my help is here.
