Sunshine

I truly enjoy spending time in the sun. I have a tattoo of a sun on my inner left ankle, I thought about this tattoo for 2 years before I got it 16 years ago and to this day I do not regret it one iota. That is how much I truly enjoy sunshine. When I was a teenager I use to love to go and take naps in the back of my car ('72 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme -army green)with all the windows up on a warm day - laying in the warmth of the sun. I could never take naps but this was my one retreat. When I think back even further into my childhood most of my favorite memories were on warm summer days. It could of been fishing with my brothers or laying in the sun (using baby oil)with my sisters playing board games or even just trekking around town with my friends exploring where ever we wanted. The sun gives me hope and lightens my heart. It makes me smile and therefore brings back warm, loving and happy memories not the dark, cold, harsh ones of winter. I am happy for springtime finally arriving and I hope it stays because I can use all the sunshine I can get in my life. SO- here's to you my dear friend Mr. Sun - keep shining.

just a little poem

If I searched the whole world wide
Could I find a smile inside
Things are well at the best
Now if only my head would rest
I tried to come in from the cold
I'm afraid this is getting old
I want to lay my head down on your lap
However it seems you have fallen off the map
You're in my heart and my soul
You're the one that made me whole
You still come to me in my dreams
That is all I have, so it seems.
