Ordinary People

The lives of people like me

   the eternally optimistic

   are like sunshine

   wrapped around a single dark cloud

We can't seem to help ourselves

   even though we sense

   that the pain is near

We still give

   and trust

   unable to stay in check

Will we always be destined

   to so freely give of our love?

Faith keeps pulling us through

   reminding us

   how beautiful and timeless

   the sunshine really is

The warmth will always be ours
