1 My Poem by Edith Niemeyer

She was my sunshine,
Soft upon the day,
A little white shadow
Who never wandered far away.

She was my laughter,
My quiet in the storm,
A heartbeat at my footsteps,
A place where love stayed warm.

She 'twas my sunshine,
Through every season's turning,
Through ordinary mornings,
Through every candle burning.

I sang to her softly,
Words she somehow knew,
And when I sang of sunshine,
I was singing them to you.

Run now, Hucklebutt,
Where the soft breezes roam,
Where no ache can follow,
And every path leads home.

Nuggle within Angels' wings,
Rest where the moonlight lies,
Carry my song beside you
Through those everlasting skies.

For savage tiz this rip of torn,
This silence left behind,
Yet love does not know endings—
It only changes kind.

Past it tiz,
Those little puppy days.
The years came softly onward,
Leaving pawprints in their ways.

And now I see you older,
Still watching as before,
As though you know a secret
Just beyond some distant door.

The future's now…
Perhaps for you it be,
While I remain here waiting
For what I cannot yet see.

But when the distance closes,
When then becomes somehow,
I'll sing our song once more to you—

Until the future becomes the now.

She was my sunshine.
She 'twas my heart, somehow.

And though I say, she was…

My soul still whispers
and

I sing

for you are

My Sunshine

She was my sunshine,
Soft upon the day,

Through every season's turning,
Through ordinary mornings,
Through every candle burning.

Where the soft breezes roam,
Where no ache can follow,
And every path leads home.

Nuggle within Angels' wings,
Rest where the moonlight lies,
Carry my song beside you
Through those everlasting skies.

For savage tiz this rip of torn,
