You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine.
Keep shining, please, stay bright.
God portioned out the sunbeams.
You are His glory reflected as in a mirror.
I think of friends as charms
on my bracelet.
Tell me, which are you?
I choose music, books,
pines, children, love.
I wonder what is precious to you.
Created to be special you,
individual, one of a kind,
you color the world.
Sounds of love come softly,
the memories of your words
echoing through my heart.
Thank you for the little things,
those joys with small smiles
I keep forever.
How do you know
just what I need?
You tune in so quietly, knowingly.
Love is a soft friend
padding through the hidden-away spaces
in my heart.
Come, hold my hand.
Together we can brave the cold
and bring on spring.
If you would stay
close by my side,
I could overcome my daily challenges.
Look around.
See the small things.
Let them speak to you,
bringing their joy.
Your laugh fills me
like a balloon with air.
Never be silent. Laugh on.
What do you think about
when nighttime shades your windowsill?
I think of you.
Treasures accrue.
Just look around. Coins wait for your taking.
We count our gold.
