The Sun

The sun’s been burning for eternity
It has seen many cultures rise and fall
Revered for centuries as a gift for all
Providing light and warmth for you and me
If it’s not for the sun, we won’t be here
It is the promise of a brand new day
And, in this world, reason enough to stay
And absolutely nothing left to fear
So when times are tough and I’m feeling down
I’ll look up and the see the sun shining still
And I’ll be infused with a stronger will
And the strength to face the day with no frown

Each day I wake and see the sun still there
And that is hope enough beyond compare
