My Sundial

I only tell of sunny hours...
For I have found a new direction.
Like the sun shinning on a sundial,
hope follows me whence I travel. 
For its not what life owes me, its what
I owe life.

I've learn that happiness is a direction
and not a place which I travel with hope
along a road which I have made. My road is
built with dreams that I carry within
my heart; and nothing in this world
will make me kneel to fear. 

Hope follows like a shadow, regardless of
the weather and instead of looking for the bad, 
I look for the good. My sundial really does
not need the sun, for I carry a light that
shines on me. I don't have to look for
happiness, for hope is my companion.
