Hey Mr. Sunshine

Hey Mr. Sunshine why don’t you come out, love?
You’ve been hiding in the clouds long enough,
Spread your arms of golden into our world,
Cause we all need you now.

Mr. Sunshine come knocking’ at my door,
I’ll give you everything you ask,
And maybe even more.
Come and spread your light in our town,
Stay with me and I’ll show you around.

Hey Mr. Sunshine it’s been raining for a week,
I’m getting tired and I wanna sleep.
You’d make my day,
If you stayed, so come out and play.

Mr. Sunshine I need you by my side
My day is bad, and I’m not having’ a good time,
Come and laugh with us,
Make our day feel great,
Cause we need you and we can’t wait.

Hey Mr. Sunshine, whisper words to me,
Tell me about the things I can’t see,
Tell us about the stars at night,
And tell us how it feels to fly.

Hey you Sunshine.
You better not forget,
to come out tomorrow,
Because if you don’t,
That would be bad!

This piece came to me just like that. It was raining the day I wrote it, and I felt like I wanted to see some sun. I dedicate this piece to my grandpa, because he was my sunshine. Enjoy!

This is a cute song and it has a good beat so I can sing along to it in my head. I can relate to it because I also have a Mr. Sunshine as well. Well done!

Also, do you mind checking out and rating my song "Lunar Eclipse?" I'd love feedback and a rating from a fellow poet!

I love the enthusiasm of the song! I love the way I smile when I read it. One comment though, I think the song would conclude in a more interesting way if it connects or rhymes to some other phrases that you've mention earlier.

Anyway, I love this poem!
