Soaking Up Sunshine

Like the river hugs the mountainside
And evaporates into the sky
The magic spell for clouds to ride
I'm soaking up sunshine in my heart

Following the whispering trees
Floating with the wild breeze
Nature putting me at ease
I'm soaking up sunshine in my heart

Like an angel caring for her dove
In a golden heaven up above
Swimming in a sea of love
I'm soaking up sunshine in my heart

Shadows casting a heavy glow
Silence shares what I must know
Darkness hugs me even though
I'm soaking up sunshine in my heart

Skin as smooth as river rocks
Lover breaks down all the blocks
With my inner core now unlocked
I'm soaking up sunshine in my heart

Laughter erupts from a broken cry
And you stare blankly still wondering why
You have no idea that deep inside
I'm soaking up sunshine in my heart

Happiness Quotes

Most people would rather be certain they're miserable, than risk being happy.
– Robert Anthony

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
- Mahatma Gandhi

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
- James Oppenheim

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
- Albert Camus

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.
– Joseph Addison

POEM: If it Never Rained

If it never rained

There wouldn’t be rainbows

No matter how bright the sun would shine

If it never rained

The flowers couldn’t bloom

And the grass would shrivel up and die

If it never rained

I’d never feel it kiss me

Pouring down my rosy cheeked face

If it never rained

We couldn’t go dancing

Spinning in circles in the open space

If it never rained

Would we appreciate it

When the sun kept on beating down

If it never rained

The darkness would frighten

Chasing us never making a sound

If it never rained

How the soul would cry

But the teardrops could not flow with ease

If it never rained

You’d think there’d be smiles

But the world would be filled with disease

If it never rained

The world would not turn

And the stars would explode in the night

If it never rained

This place we call home

Could never be happy even with the sun's light
