Seeing as we’ve had some lovely sunny weather this week, here’s a poem about the effects that a little bit of sunshine has on every single one of us, by the American poet Juan Olivarez.
We can all try to be a little bit of sunshine in everyone’s life.
A Little Bit of Sunshine
A little bit of sunshine every day,
Helps to keep the rain clouds far away.
A little bit of sunshine, for your soul,
Helps you to weather even bitter cold.
A little bit of sunshine in your week,
Helps pull you out of bed, when you are sick.
A little bit of sunshine on your brain,
Helps get out all bad feelings, and mental strain.
A little bit of sunshine in your life,
Helps you to deal, with all your stress and strife.
A little bit of sunshine at the start,
Can even help to heal a broken heart.
