Sunshine Revives My Mood
A bad day, a death, feelings of despair
No one can cheer me with food or words
I go outside to sit in the sun.
She warms me, embraces me, loves me
In silence, she is my comfort blanket
She lulls me to sleep, I lie down in the grass,
Shade my eyes, because she is bright
She assures me and reassures me.
Her vitamin D gives me a feeling of peace
I fall asleep, feeling loved.
After my nap I can go back inside
I am replenished, refreshed, like a new daisy
Who has just pushed out of the ground
I feel my petals and they are strong
I can face death now, and the day has turned
I eat the comfort foods brought to us by our neighbors
