A Little Sunshine On Rainy Days

Rain pours down as she stands outside

In a storm so unescapable.

Her body aches with the pain her emotions impart but

The roar of the torrent cannot drown out

The voice that whispers to her,

Remember what you have around you, take joy in them.

Such simple words, always echoing in her mind.

The girl tries to live by them but some days,

On the rainy days, she can't find them.

Sometimes she is content wallow in her mire.

Sometimes she searches for a way out

But every time she grabs hold her hand slips.

She picks herself up and the voice whispers again,

Remember what you have around you...

The girl searches her life and world for the answer to the command

And she remembers...

Young love by the crystal mountain lake,

Velvet night skies pierced by shooting stars,

The codenames created for unsuspecting boys and the

Calming of a friend's panic mode.

The rumble of an approaching storm and the

Rainbow that follows.

The smile a daisy will always give her and

Who they remind her of.

She remembers the Father's love and

The angels in her midst.

She remembers the plans made for that late summer day

And the night to follow.

Late nights with roommates,

The early classes the next day

And the simple sound of his voice saying that he loves her.

The more she recalls, the more the girl can see

That she had forgotten to remember all that is good in her life.

She was blinded by self-pity and could not see how

He had blessed her struggle.

A man's love, codenames and daisies...

Endless nights and sun-filled days.

Cherished memories created and

Countless more to be made.

The girl smiles to herself as she continues to think

Of the sunshine on her rainy days and she hopes

That they know they shine through her storm.

 

Remember what you have around you,

Take joy in them.
