The sun 
as it basked in your hair 
would shimmer 
like a brand new copper penny,
and the light in your eyes 
glowed like a firefly’s 
captured wonder.

The sun still rises
in a shimmer in your hair
and through the years the wonder flowed 
as music through your fingers  
to soothe a restless soul.

So spread your wings and fly
chase your rainbows;
feel the wind in your hair,
and never forget
no one can 
take the sun
from you.
