Sunshine Still Finds Me

Even on the days
when the sky feels heavy
and time moves slowly,

the sun still rises.

It does not rush,
it does not force
it simply arrives,
steady and sure.

And when its light touches my skin,
I remember…

warmth still exists,
gentleness still lives here,
hope has not forgotten my name.

The sunshine does not ask
how strong I feel today.
It simply wraps around me
like it always has—

soft, patient,
and full of quiet promise.

So I will sit in its glow,
even for a moment,
and let it remind me

there is light ahead,
there is warmth within,
and I am still held
by something brighter than this day.
