The Sun

Long before mankind was born Alone stood a star called ‘The Sun’ The sun thought So often alone a lot One day the sun thought If I could be that daylight indicator A kind of happiness creator On earth and allow my sunshine rays to run I shall indeed be the true originator of fun I can decide to wake up everyday at dawn Not only will I be the source of light But also the source of life When people see me, it is that simple Only smiles on their faces will be worn When I rise They shall all walk in my shadow And the wise Will take shelter, as my intensity flows And so its journey begun Now everyone wants a piece of the sun Now everyone wants a piece of its warmth Sometimes I wonder what will become of us Long when the sun is gone!
