"you are my sunshine,
My only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are grey,
You'll never know dear,
How much i love you,
Oh please don't take my sunshine away,"

*

My mom used to sing this,

I would close my eyes,

Feel her warm embrace,

Feel safe from lurking monsters,

*

I was happy,

There was only light,

Flowers bloomed daily,

And the beaches were calm,

*

I began to grow up,

As I did I noticed something,

Winters were much colder,

And fall started earlier,

*

The warm lights fade,

as the hands on a clock move,

Constantly progressing,

Reminding me of what I can't get back,

*

What is going on?

Just sing the song,

Sing at the top of my lungs,

Emphasize the sunshine,

*

Sing sing sing,

Doesn't matter how good,

Or how small the voice is,

But put your heart out,

*

Maybe the sun will listen,

Maybe it'll come again,

till then I hug my savior,

Tightly i might add,

*

I love that feeling,

The warm embrace,

Tight and protective hold,

Engulfing my entirety,

*

Maybe there's a reason,

I prefer tight hugs,

The engulfing hugs,

The bear hugs,

*

maybe it's the protective feeling,

Maybe it's the warmth it emits,

Or maybe it's because i know,

I know what it's like,

*

I know what it feels like,

That intolerable feeling,

To not be held,

But covered,

*

Covered by the veiled enemy,

Blinded to a certain point,

That when I'm uncovered,

I'm naive,

*

Sing sing sing,

Doesn't matter how desperate,

Or how many times you've lost hope,

Just look forward to morning,

*

Morning will bring light,

Noon gives warmth,

Evening is warning,

And night is inevitably dreadful.
