Shine On...

Sunshine, do you remember that time,

That smile on your lips, the twinkle in your eyes,

Lighting up hopes in the lives you touched,

Like an enchanted star across the skies.

Twisted fate and a little slip, snatch you

From the depths of the waves of carefree bliss,

Stranded, with a gathering storm clouding your thoughts,

Worried lines, pondering what you might miss.

I watch, helpless, from my distant perch,

Straining at these chains of habit around me,

Picking my cluttered mind for a way,

Anything i could do to set you free.

You are hurting, but the tears are mine,

So hold on sunshine, let the storm pass on by,

Cause every twilight promises a sunrise,

Every nadir is a prelude to a high.
