Sunshine

Through the window the land spreads out before my eyes, Overlooking is hazy, watery duck egg blue skies, In our kitchen on the table there is cooling cherry topped pies, My husband is playing the piano, soulful tunes that makes me cry, For the loss of my beloved mum my best chum, She cared for me in my destructive years, When I had lost my soul because of all my fears, My mum had held me close and her loving words that turned fears into cheers, With my introverted personality, mum reminded me of my younger years, When I was the sunshine of her life, I was always smiling, laughing like jumping with joy on a trampoline, I was a heartbeat so keen, With my innocent blue eyes that had danced with zest, My mum's warmth gave me strength To try and climb every high mountain just a daily test, Mum made me feel like a precious butterfly She set me free in blue etched skies, She was my caring and beautiful guide every step of my troubled way, As I smile at my memories of my angel My mum's soul is the sun shining every day.
