SUNSHINE AURA – self-esteem. self-love. self-actualization. 

She always found herself waiting for it.

It wasn’t here yet, but it was on its way.

Would it arrive in a horse drawn carriage?

Would it be carried to her by a curious stranger?

Would it come like a present, wrapped with a bow?

She wondered, sighing with her chin placed

Delicately in her soft palm.

A thought perked her head right up

And she lifted off the seat where she perched.

What if it wasn’t something one waits for?

What if it was something one creates?

Not a gift to receive, but rather a gift to give?

And it was in that moment, she knew.

Happily ever after was already here,

For she could feel it all around her.

Happily ever after was evident in the sunrise

Followed by beautiful days

Spent with good friends and family

Following her passions

Balanced with keeping her responsibilities.

Happily ever after was alive in small moments

Like the scent of a fresh rose

The little run of a puppy learning to use his legs

A good song that makes you want to dance

And a warm cozy bed at night.

Happily ever after was not on its way.

It was already here, and here it would stay

As long as she remembered

To always cherish each and every day.
