RAYS OF SUNSHINE
Look how the slanted morning rays of the sun
brighten everywhere around.
Awakening with beauty city and country
alike, new beauty found
In the everyday things of life, even dust particles
sparkle in each ray,
I always love a bright sunny start of a new
chance giving day.

We can, no matter what the day may bring,
start each anew
With the choice of either kind or cruel
things to do.
As we see each ray of sunshine starting
a new day,
Smile and start thinking of all the good
things you can do and say.

Even if the day begins with dark rain
clouds low and drear,
You can be that person that lights
the world with cheer.
A happy smile and a pleasant word
and a kindly deed do,
Is all it takes to help someone see the
sun shining through.

Each one of us can be a ray of sunshine
even in the rain,
You can lighten a heavy cloud from a heart
that is full of pain,
And when the rays of sun brighten the
start of a new day,
All of us can make it much brighter in
our own special way.

So be a ray of sunshine, always try
to be shining bright,
Be the one to show by your deeds
everything is alright.
Even when days come that are dark,
cold and drear
If you are a ray of sunshine you
will be good to be near.
