Sunny

Today I wake without tears.
The sunrise streams in through my window, my gentle alarm clock.
I roll over and curl up under the covers, not wanting to face the day quite yet.

Then I hear the birds chirping and footsteps overhead...sounds of life.
Even through the pain, even though I feel heavy laden...there is still life.

The sun still shines
The wind dances on the grass and twirls through the leaves.
Life is still thriving, while I just exist

I fight to put one foot in front of the other.
Soon I'm walking through another day.

Soon I will be running again.
The path will be different - I will be different.

But I bet the sun will shine on this road too.
