The darkness of Sunshine
Once there was a white rose,
They called her Sunshine,
Reflected the day's glow around,
Said she was a creation fine
She sang, danced, laughed
In the wind; Little did they see,
Inside Sunshine there was darkness,
Which beneath her glow she hid
One day a bee found Sunshine,
She opened up to the bee
He sang, danced and played with her,
Wished he'd set her darkness free
But Sunshine was daunted,
Held on to her darkness tight
Fragile, she felt without it,
Fragile, she felt without it,
Thought darkness gave her might
She drew herself deeper into darkness,
And pushed away the bee
But such was the darkness,
Potent, that it stayed on with the bee
