My Sunshine
By Thomas Houston
Today I awoke in a groggy state and my mind screamed not to get out of bed
The button called "snooze" has made me late as I now face the hour drive with dread
As the miles roll by I can see the gray sky, the clouds gather thick overhead
I take a deep breath and let out a sigh then thoughts of her enter my head
Eyes like the sea stare back and thrill me, a green mystery not revealing her soul
Seems where ever I may be when she isn't with me, to be with her is my quest and my goal
Her hair smells so sweet as she points her bare feet, her lips pursed to be pressed against mine
On a day like today when clouds keep light away, her memory in my heart is my sunshine
Instead of the windshield I see her face and her laughter now enters my mind
Instead of the wheel I feel her embrace, our heartbeats and arms are entwined
Instead of the engine I hear her voice as she whispers sweet words so divine
Instead of the dark all seems to be bright from her memory, her light, my sunshine
The drive is long and the morning is drear but my thoughts are not here on the road
and the clouds overhead have a slight tint of red but I ignore the gloom they forebode
No matter how dim my circumstances may be or how bad my life gets out of line
The glow of her smile when she's happy with me is all I need for my light and my sunshine
