Good Morning Sunshine
Virginia Salter

good morning sunshine
why don’t you smile at me
the day is beginning
sit down and have some tea

we’ll chat about old times
we’ll listen to our hearts
we’ll sip of lemon sweetness
and nibble on some tarts

the world out there will go on by
a doing what it pleases
while we sit with feet up
eating bread and cheeses

good morning, Sunshine, give me a smile
good morning, Sunshine, come sit awhile
recall I love you, you love me, too
we’ll bless the hours, just me and you

© July 20,  2000


fun, don't you think, Sunshine?

Very intersting and beautifully written.

Perhaps a revelation.... anyway there is more than one that brings sunshine into our lives.... there are so many wonderful people in the world with sunny personalities and I am so glad to have met the sunny one here at passions as well...  and I am sure that "Sunshine" will arise to the occasion.

Well now something said "come look at this" and my goodness....look at this!

Thank you for this, Virginia!  But as Bob says, there are plenty of folks out there that spread the sunshine...I am but just one little "ray" that sticks around...

and in order to thank you appropriately, I dug around in the back rooms and came up with this, to hopefully grace your lovely poem back to you....


When I'm Gone

When I never write again
you shall not even know I'm gone
not for long
no, and I am not wrong
you'll not know when I'm gone

when I never write again
can't imagine the where or when
but if it should happen then
won't be for long
no, and I am never wrong

for I have a beautiful dream
you see
of writing in calligraphy
for a scribe of God I'll be
no, and I am not wrong
you'll not know when I'm gone

for in your dreams I'll come
and softly muse you with a hum
lead your dreams to sway away
and guide you in your dream
today
you'll not know when I'm gone

and if for a moment you seem alone
seek the Sun and you shall see
a brilliant little reminder of me
strong enough to melt the stone
no, and I am not wrong…

you'll not know when I am gone

thank you EVERYONE! and Sunshine, what a lovely dream...what a lovely hope to be a scribe of God as He might allow us to 'feed' His gift of a talent to His children. Wonderful idea.

Both poems are wonderfully written. They speak of frindship before it began, God's scribe, YES!!!

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.
