Sunshine emits light,

But before you, there was darkness. 

Sunshine warms me,

But before you, my body was cold.

Sunshine comforts me,

But before you, I was troubled.

Sunshine bestows peace,

But before you, I was in turmoil.

Sunshine allows vision,

But before you, I was sightless.

Sunshine lights the way,

But before you, the way was uncertain.

Sunshine makes me feel safe,

But before you, I was afraid.

Sunshine brings smiles,

But before you, my soul cried.

Sunshine radiates strength,

But before you, I trembled in weakness.

Thank you for being my sunshine!
