Dollops of sunshine

I was a resolute seeker,

Seeking dollops of delectable sunshine

In dense, misty forests

And algid, snow-clad mountains,

In my deep, gloomy days

And moments of stinging despondency,

In bitter, acerbic people

And in those who're deceived by fate.

My search restlessly continued

In every lane and place,

Moment, day and person

Till I looked within

And communicated with my soul;

Deep down there,

I found the priceless treasure

Of delicious sun and soothing zephyr.

Now, I carry my own sunshine,

Spread it wherever I go

And share it with whoever I come across.
