every morning the sun whispers as it warmly kisses your skin: “wake up beloved human, here’s another chance to begin" "i will never give up on you i shine for you each day i’m your biggest supporter consistency is my way" so, when you think you’ve lost your chance and opportunities seem so few feel my light touching your skin and remember you can start anew”

when at night you lay down burdened as can be know there’s comfort there that you can’t always see close your eyes and imagine a light beside your bed this very night cuz, angels come when you least expect your heaviest burdens to collect so offer them up one by one you’ll start to feel better once you’ve begun with grace they’ll carry each worry away so in your mind they won’t replay let it all go so you can sleep trusting the angels your burdens to keep
dear world, as you know, sometimes living is hard so, i have a special request: when i wake up on one of those days please, just love me with yellow . . . kiss me with sunshine to brighten my day place daffodils and dandelions along my way feed me banana bread, pineapple and corn on the cob and always let me wear yellow shoes to my job give me a fluffy chick or a duckling to hold and money in my pocket, doesn’t have to be gold place ribbons of highlights throughout my mane to keep me from feeling too boring or plain give me a polka dot bikini over skin that is tanned and a pristine beach covered in warm golden sand feel free to treat me with lemon sorbet and a yellow lab with a frisbee that knows how to play later, light a candle to quiet my mind so it’s warm little glow can help me unwind give me my partner to cuddle and spoon or dance with romantically under a soft yellow moon please, love me with yellow cuz yellow is best it always reminds me how much i am blessed
shhh . . . hush now everything’s okay it’s all temporary there’s a place beyond this one where there is peace and where there are answers to all of your questions but for now, hush, breathe, open your eyes and go back to life
today is a dreary day the clouds in my mind and heart are heavy saturated i feel them condensing welling up droplets swell and fall from my eyes becoming rivulets down my cheeks i tilt my head back ahhh . . . sweet release reposeful flow i breathe . . . in . . . and out . . . in . . . and out . . . in . . . and out . . . the clouds are lifting the horizon is clearing my tears are evaporating i begin to feel warm inside it's done i'm clean refreshed from the inside out now, a glass of water a nap, to recharge then i'll be ready to begin again
