SUN SHINING AND SMILING

SUN SHINING AND SMILING

I walk around like the sun is always on my face

But the truth is, I’m waiting for something

And it hurts to wait

I smile through the pain of uncertainty

Work diligently for security

That may not be for me

I hug the whole world with generous love

And sleep alone at night, sometimes fighting tears

I long for yesterday to have done it differently

Yet, I thank God that I leave the past behind me

I find so much joy in pleasing others

That sometimes I leave me behind

Just hoping to make the right decisions

Free myself from shackles that bind

I hope for someone to love me

I hope for restoration of family

I hope for stability

I hope for longevity

In the middle of the road

Lies a whole lot of hope for me

Keeping my stride

I don’t know what the steady pace should be

So when you see me walking in the sun smiling

Would you still Pray For Me?
