100 Days of Poetry Challenge~ Day Seventeen/Mirrored Refrain~ "My Sun"

Blue drapes are strung above me,
Speckled with happy white puffs.
Because the sun still shines today,
There's light inside my heart.

A drive considered long and lonely
Is my escape, my journey.
There's light inside my heart
Because the sun still shines today.

Faces pass me in the hallway
And I grin at them.
Because the sun still shines today,
There's light inside my heart.

My books slide onto the desktop
And I scoot in with a content sigh.
There's light inside my heart
Because the sun still shines today.

I walk from class refreshed and curious
Hoping for more days like this.
Because the sun still shines today,
There's light inside my heart.

Suddenly I see your face before me,
And I search for the smile I adore.
There's light inside my heart
Because the sun still shines today.

It's slow in coming, but it's there,
And I can but smile back.
Because my sun still shines today,
There's light inside my heart.
