Sunshine
I used to think I would be a bouncing ballerina
Then Brett died and life forever changed
Long days at Mom’s school
Involuntary volunteering with kids
Who knew it would shape me into who I am today?
Volunteering every chance I get
Kids telling me their life stories
Telling me they love me
And I have grown to love them too
Now my name is Ms. Sunshine
I make the day bright
With games and smiles
I now know who I am
And tutus play no role in my future
My future belongs with kids
Making a difference in the world
One ray of sunshine at a time
