You shine so well

You owe me nothing

I can take nothing from you that should be mine

You are utterly and completely your own

But like the sun

The ray's of your light

Give light to my life

I have gratitude

But no entitlement

I feel Joy when you shine

But I am not a plant who needs you to survive

I will live regardless

But oh how beautiful the world is when you shine on it
