Sunshine

for Laura

Birds sing in the glow

of what could be a summer's

sun. It's Spring,

which means I still worry

about grades

and meetings

and social gatherings.

As I wake today,

the first thing to my mind

is what did I miss?

What did I forget?

But you don't worry.

You're sunshine in golden-yellow.

You're enough to make me a smiling fellow.
