One day I was awken
with a ray of blinding light.
It took away the darkness
It scared away the night.

My body cold and frigid
was shaking as though in fright.
The light covered me like a blanket
And my dark room became so bright.

This blanket continued to cover me
as I began to walk outside
But as soon as I opened the door
The world was covered in my blanket’s light

My body was like Antarctica
The coldness seemed to bite
But outside the blanket was even warmer
And it melted away all my ice

I can only enjoy my blanket
before it goes away for the night
But I’m not afraid even as my
dark room erases my sight

But tomorrow I’ll wake up in my own bed
by that same blinding light
Because the sun only goes down
to brighten someone else's life.
