i am sunshine

i am sunshine
i glow and keep you warm
i am brightness
in every shape and form

sure i have my cloudy days
as do all of you
everybody likes me better
when the sky is blue

it’s all my fault
when it’s too hot
and all my fault
when it is not

i sometimes can be
overpowering
but credit me
for little buds flowering

in the summer
you like to diss me
in the winter
you always miss me

bad days for me
are bland for you
but every time
we make it through

i am the one
you hold most dear
and though i’m far
i’m always near

love me or hate me
it’s all the same
like it or not
i’m here to stay

when i rise
for another day
you’re pleased to see
my very first ray

when i set
and it grows dark
you lay to rest
i’ve made my mark
