This poem was written and dedicated to my Precious Aunt Loretta

I Love you so much and will miss you Dearly. Love Valerie

Sweet Sunshine

I look at it oh so differently

what the Sunshine means to me

For Its your Sweet Smile that I see

When the Sun comes shining down on me

And when the sun is shining down

And I feel its warmth is all around

I close my eyes and you are there

And its been said by many - Near and Far

Sweet Sunshine is what you are

And your Sweet Sunshine fills my Heart

with such Beauty and such Warmth

As Bright as a Million Shooting Stars

Sweet Sunshine is what you are

I look at it all so differently

What the Sunshine means to me

For its your Sweet Smile that I see

When the sun comes shining down on me

A Special Gift from God above

I hope you know how much your Loved

I wish you hadn't gone away

I miss you more than words can say

I know I will see you once again

Your my Sweet Sunshine Until Then

Fly High my Sweet Angel....Love you More , Valerie
