Life’s Sunshine

I believed for a while that I was born to endless night
Now I know I was destined to live in endless delight
I’ll always have the sun’s warmth to hold within me
There will always be rainbows to gift me with beauty
Life is full of promise if you look you’ll see it there
There’s magic and there’s wonder in this world to spare
Sometimes we forget to look around us we don’t see
We stop looking with our hearts we miss life’s mystery

I opened my heart to release the prisoner I’d become
I realised that life didn’t have to be lived without sun
We forget to look out at the opportunities that call
Instead we see problems and into pains despair we fall
But never again will I leave the glory of loves light
I’ll keep open my soul to magic and retrieve my sight
Out there in the world I’ll meet with my own destiny
I’ll march with pride to face whatever life holds for me

I imagined pain and sorrow were my constant friends
But now I know that love is constant it never ends
I’ll forever have the touch of truth here in my heart
Bathing me in joy, it will of me eternally be a part
Often we forget that life is a gift so precious and rare
We don’t take any time to stand still and simply stare
Now I know I need to reconnect myself to my soul
I’ll take the chance that life has gifted me to be whole

Only a memory of the same

Mushy,
love how you do the things you do, with the words you stole from me.
