Sunshine

With color shines my yard,
The sunshine moves a pen.
The times are always hard
Before they're good again.

The sunshine is ascending
Towards my misty porch,
And it will light my doorstep
As if a lighted torch.

But now I sink in trial,
The darkness is too deep.
Misfortune hits a dial:
It's calling me to sleep.

But sleep I will not flatter
And listen to the call.
The calling words will shatter,
And pass along the hall.

With color shines my April yard
The sunshine moves a pen.
The darkness seems too deep and hard
Before light shines again.
