Ruth Desjardins My sunshine can’t be seen right now–
It’s hidden deep inside me,
To gently heal my wounded heart
With warmth my world denied me.
My sunshine never leaves my heart
When I’m filled with rainy tears;
It’s there behind the clouds of life
To calm my stormy fears.
Though winter time surrounds me now–
My world has turned so cold,
My sunshine will bring spring again
And turn my clouds to gold.
And when my heart is warm again,
You’ll see it overflowing–
With warmth and caring in my eyes,
You’ll see my sunshine glowing.
My sunshine is my love of life:
It somehow keeps me going.
Even when I feel despair,
It’s there, inside me–growing.
