Sunshine in My Basket

You make me feel like porridge
on a frosty winter's morn.
You make me feel like new logs
on a fire.

You make me feel like jumping
up and down upon my bed.
You make me feel like walking
on a wire.

You make me feel like smiling
when it seems I've lost the touch.
You make me fill with sunshine
when I tire.

**
And all the while I thank you
from the bottom of my heart.
And all the while you give what
I require.
**

You give me hope to wonder
if my dreams are not misplaced.
You give me hope to which I
can aspire.

You give me hope I'm seeing
for the first time in so long.
You give me hope and feelings
I desire.

You give me hope there's better
than to be here on my own.
You make me hope you're there when
I retire.

**

 And all the while I thank you
from the bottom of my heart.
And all the while you give what
I require.
