Sunshine Prayer

"Sunshine Prayer." -Amber N. Leyba
September 20, 2010



Once upon a sunshine prayer, I slip through a leaf and a tree.

Happiness springs like a child's golden hair, and joy comes like pollen to a bee.

But sometimes the rain will pour down like a flood, your sunshine seems so far away.

"Where did the light go and all sunny bliss? Where is the laughter of the day?"

To slip in a fump and dark stormy night is never the answer so it seems;

When all you have left are a tear and an ache and nothing holds on to your dreams.

Don't cry little sorrow, don't blow out the light; Someone is sure to be there.

"Where is He then when all I can do, is scream and pull out my hair?"

Surely real soon your sun will then shine, a rainbow will pluck at your cheeks;

And then you can shout "Sunshine prayer you're here! HE sent you with sugar and sweets!"
