*** When The Sun Doesn't Shine ***
The sun doesn't shine when I'm missing you.
When friends move away, and I'm feeling blue.
As worries prevail over life's treasures lost
A rare opportunity that I recently tossed.
I must carry on thru the darkness of night
Trudging thru depths, when I can't see the light.
Numerous burdens , I carry around
Others scoff at me, a troublesome sound.
No one can help me, thru dismal despair
I go it alone, breathing foul stagnant air.
Longing for dawn to brighten my day
Walking the path, I can't see the way.
A smile given to me, suddenly appears
From a stranger to my world, who comforts my tears.
The seas become tranquil, with the passing of time
All that was wrong, takes a turn so sublime.
My spirits raised up , from where sun did not shine
When you held out your hand, and put it in mine.
The light of the day, the dawn with its dew
Suddenly appeared, when I first met you.
Never deny the hope for those down
Where sun doesn't shine, a light can be found.
