Ode to the Sun

 

The sun it comes

In the most beautiful way

I feel its warming rays

All through the day

The sun it comes

Bringing the morning light

So brilliant and so bright

From such a height

 

The sun it comes

Rising up into the sky

Flowers opening wide

On every side

 

The sun it comes

 Creating a brand new day

Blessing me on my way

In work or play

 

It shines on each and everyone

No matter what you have or haven’t done

Asking for nothing in return

Something from which we all could learn

 

The sun it comes

Giving everything life

It knows not struggle or strife

In its delight

The sun it comes

Spreading warmth around

Its energy all surrounds

And love abounds

 

The sun it comes

Always arriving on time

It never ceases to shine

So strong and fine

 

The sun it comes

Watching over you and me

Providing what we all need

So graciously

 

The sun it comes

Bringing a smile to my face

My blues it’s sure to erase

With not a trace

 

Airbrushed pastels across the sky

Changing shapes to delight my eye

When I'm still and take it in

Then see it yet again within

The sun it comes

It so freely extends

Just like a special friend

Without end

The sun it comes

Ridding me of all doubt

Showing what its about

As it gives out

The sun descends

Upon its downward flight

To one point of light

Oh what a sight

 

The sun goes down

In the most spectacular way

The show at the end of the day

With brilliant shades
