Dear Sunshine,

The light that exists within you has been ignited

A fiery passion to live it is

I wanna share it with you,

day in and day out

Damn anyone who would deny us

For what we have is as true as any other love

And yes, we will have to fight for it

As is with any other thing worth having

Can’t you see I don’t care what you were?

My concern is what you are becoming and what you will be

Fight, my darling, fight for your right to shine bright

Dear Sunshine,

Allow me the chance to take your fragile heart in my hands

And allow me to let it go where it needs to be

Allow me the chance to teach what you want to learn

Always know my heart is not earned, but given

And you never have to be anymore than what you are.

I want you to know that you were a dream I conceived

A heart that I believed

A truth untried, a life denied

And a friend through and through

I’m sorry I gave up on you

You were something so special I thought you too good to be true

I’ll tell your story in my dreams

Write letters of your destiny on any screen

Want you forever, in any weather

Because I see how precious we can be

I won’t lie, you are the unknown song in my heart

The final frontier of my life

But, if all this is true, and you are you

Then allow us to be we

And no matter what, no matter how many times they say you

can’t be a child of God

Rebel against that fallacy

And shine on baby, shine with or without me…
