A Cup of Sunshine

With the sunlight filtering in,

Yellow on yellow walls,

Shining on the green bedspread,

And the various shades of pink,

It all seems too happy.

 

You woke up smiling,

Went to the kitchen to make a coffee

Whistling a show tune,

In harmony with the birds singing outside,

Where is this place?

 

Feeling so little, without a care,

As though it’s in a dream,

Violence is extinct,

In a world bathing in happiness,

How would you survive?
