Shine

Peaking Through the Pinholes

By Rick Henry Christopher Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Sunshine bring me a bouquet of beauty

Sunshine bring me a face that is cheerful

Sunshine grace me with love eternity

Sunshine love me even when I'm tearful

≈≈≈

Peaceful shower me with your enchantment

Peaceful guide me through these forlorn moments

Peaceful keep me from feeling resentment

Peaceful hold me throughout the self-torments

≈≈≈

Mother I love you more than words can say

Mother your advice steers me through the night

Mother I need you each and every day

Mother your soft words are my guiding light

≈≈≈

Sunshine remember me when there is no light

Sunshine please hold me through the darkened night
