Sunshine

Look up

There are skies of gray

It’s quite dismal

A dreary feeling comes over me

Look around

Everything is in shadow

It makes me feel so cold

I felt gray for so long

And then something changed

There was a decision to be made

After all the gray days

I finally looked up again

And what I saw was something else

The skies may have still held gray

There were still clouds and shadows

It still felt cold

But something changed inside of me

I’m looking up now

And what I see is beautiful

There’s sunshine in my sky

I look around

Everything looks different

It’s brighter

And warmth spreads through me

Things changed for me

I felt happier

I felt like I was doing something right

What I was doing mattered

And more importantly it mattered to me

I liked what I was doing

Now I feel like I have a purpose

I finally know what I want to do

It was always changing

But now I really know

Sometimes I see the sunshine

And sometimes I see skies of gray

It changes from time to time

But I have hope

I know that I’ll see my sunshine again

It may not happen today

And I may not see it tomorrow

But one day I’ll see my sunshine again
