Sunshine Away


You are my sunshine, my only sunshine"

A melody sung by mothers everywhere
A song of love, adoration, and desperation

Love for those few you hold close to your heart
Adoration for all they are
Desperation for a higher power to not take her sunshine away
 
Her sunshine remained ...
But mine was gone within days .
 
No time for goodbye
Only harsh words that were never meant to be said
 
Laying in my bed wailing "Why?"
Crying myself to sleep
Barely able to eat

The day my sunshine's light went out
was darkest day in my life
 
Grieving day after day as every sky turned grey
Because you were no longer there to make me happy
 
"Please don't take my sunshine away."
