Bottle it up

She'd like to take the sun on days like today,

bottle it up,

and store it away,

--Under her bed,

with the rest of her secret dreams

and outrageous laughs--

So that when the rain comes,

and the grey falls down,

and she gets weary and beaten by the 

sad things in life,

She could take a sip of today's summer sun,

and remember what it feels like

to be perfectly warm.
