To my Sunshine

You show the light in so many ways
Your goodness, you simply say

I will help all I can
To make your life better
It is who I am

Your look of beauty; the way you see the world
Your kindness and love
It is unheard

People like you will save humanity
We have something to learn
From the young -- it is uncanny

Your view of loveliness in mankind
How I wish we all could see

Martin Luther King, Ghandi and you
See something I wish that I knew

You are so special in the way that you see
I've learned so much raising you to be who you are to be
I am proud and grateful to have you as mine 
I love you so much; you are my sunshine

To my Seester, on her birthday

The one that sticks up for me when others do not
The one that loves me when I think others cannot

The one that shows me what love can do
Oh how I wish that I knew

The one that repeats that I am worth a lot
Though I fight it with all I've got

She is the the right way, the way God has said
I should have listened way before when
My life was troubled and in need of a mend

I love my Seester more than I can say
She is the reason that I am what I am today
