you are deliberate in your sunshine
and balmy summer days
a warmth that will never
and should never be replaced

you are yellow flowers after a storm
sand before waves
music on road trips
a promise of reprise

upbeat moments that carry me through
the steepest of falls
a reminder to be grateful for little things
to share my love with all

your smile could thaw
the most frozen of hearts
a welcome respite on dreary dark days
thank you for all that you are

sunrise would be nothing without you here
