Bursts of Sunshine

 Little bursts of sunshine;
Laughing as you said it,
And smiled,
The innocence lost long ago,
Danced in your eyes.

 Weeds;
The long time cynic in me responded,
Dismissing while craving,
The innocence lost long ago,
Found nowhere in my soul.

 Yet beside the sidewalk this morning,
Little bursts of sunshine,
Followed me across town,
And made my world,
A little brighter.
