SUNRISE I saw the sun come up today, it made me think of you,
The way you spread the light around with everything you do
The way your smile can brighten the dark corners of a room
The way your laughter banishes the slightest trace of gloom
The way your gentle nature can bring stillness to a storm
The way your personality replaces cold with warm
The way your very presence takes away the fear of night
The way the merest sight of you puts loneliness to flight
I saw the sun come up today, it made me think of you,
The way you spread the light around with everything you do
I saw how every living thing depended on its light
And knew my world could not survive the coming of your night
