Sun Drops



Sun Drops

What if you could carry
a little drop of sun in your pocket?
balls of glowing warmth and joy.

Then, in that dark moment,
when you shiver
and put your back to the wind,
you could reach into your pocket,
pull one out and eat it,
and feel the warmth of the morning sun
warming your body from the outside in.
Oh what a joy that would be!

And what better way
to get out of your warm bed
than with a little drop of sun
early on a cold winter morning
when the real thing is still hours away
from showing its happy face.

Yes, I think that everyone
could use
some sun drops.
