…we found the sun

…today I forgot the sun shined

so sorrow and depression filled my home

and pity and guilt surrounded me

so I became angry with life-

but in my surroundings was also a child-

who looked as tho he’d forgotten the sun shined too-

and in that moment I just wanted to grab him and run-

to find a fun place to entertain him-

so he could escape his environment-

because suicidal thoughts were chasing his mother-

and she was afraid-

so very afraid-

oh how could she keep his spirits lifted, if powerless against her own-

and of all mothers, why did earth give him me-

so i opened the blinds and found the sunlight-

then he opened the door and found the ease of wind-

then i followed and found it too-

and as he rode his bike, I stood near and watched him-

he smiled-

I smiled too-

I believe we both felt free-

by nothing more than grace

and God.
