Old man sunshine

Old man sunshine

A Poem by Joy James
"

Food for thought

"
She wakes one morning to greet old man sunshine
Spotted his gray hair one side mourning
His light so dim you couldn't help but notice
Old man sunshine lost in thought

She blinked to see but all in vain
His mind made up to cease his shine
She tried her tricks to change his thoughts
Yet it took a while for him to say
I'll shine my light with fury I'll burn

She smiled and talked some sense to him
You're who you are encourage yourself
The whole world need your light to see
The sky is near just stretch further
I believe in you no matter the cloud
So arise and shine your time is now

From birth he has been called Sunshine but the darkness of this world has managed to dim that light. One thing is for sure, a little twinkling star in the sky million of miles away could be seen and admired
Despite the darkness that abound, it doesn't stop twinkling.
The day we dim our light to see how darkness look like could cause us a lot. Instead, go with your light into the darkness.
Good Job JJ.
