A Kiss of Sunshine

A kiss of sunshine, what a happy thought.
Translated it can be in many ways.
Quite obvious the ray that brings the rainbow,
After it has rained for dreary days.

A kind word can be a kiss of sunshine
For someone whom you know is feeling blue.
And if you spread sunshiny kisses freely,
You will soon find them coming back to you.

A kiss that is some sunshine for the soul
Is given from a love with pure intent
Such as a mother gives her sleeping child,
While rocking him in wholesome sweet content.

A kiss of sunshine sent out once a day
Can banish every gathering dark cloud.
So scatter these warm kisses while you may
And horde as many as you are allowed.
