Shine on

By Valerie Maldonado

Shine on
Through the bad days
And hard days
Through the days that fly by
And the slow days
Those surreal
'Is this really happening?'
Kind of days
Shine on
Through the rough days
The 'I give up' days
And the blah days
The 'I woke up for this?' days
Through the crazy days
And pull your hair out days
Those insane, confusing
'I'm going back to bed' days
Shine on
Through the weird days
The days that make no sense
The yuck days
The not enough time days
Harried days
Frazzled days
Days that make you ask
'Where is God in all this?'
Shine on
God is there
How do we know?
Because the day passes
And the sun rises
To shine on
Through the good days
And the easy days
Through the days
When joy overflows
Those surreal
'Is this really happening?'
Kind of days
Shine on
Through the gentle days
The 'I can do anything' days
And the happy days
The 'Thank God I'm alive' days
Through the triumphant days
Those good hair days
Those delightful, gleeful
Jump out of bed days
Shine on
Through the unusual days
The 'YES' days
The 'I have all the time in the world' days
Serendipity days
Purely magical days
Days that make you shout
'Thank you God for all this!'
Shine on
God is always there
