my little ray of sunshine
waiting on my desk
for my hand to write words

my little ray of sunshine
points to pen & paper
'Ok...ok! ' I say

today no ray
my desk empty
of sunshine & words

my little ray of sunshine
playing upon my desk
searching for words

my little ray of sunshine
scolds me
my lack of words

I turn
my little ray of sunshine
into words

my little ray of sunshine
looks at itself in words
smiles
