Sun You Are a Real Star
Lying here in early evening light
the sun’s going down behind it’s cloud
it’s power being evident throughout day
effective rays showed before it bowed
Through the daytime hours so great
makes one melt under it’s shade
it’s so powerfully hot for one to bare
too much of it will make one to fade
Think how far away it is from earth
if too near it would burn us up
then all of our matter would just melt
no more to be only a shell shape cup
Thankfully it’s far enough away to harm
so we can enjoy it’s many a benefit
it spreads itself to different parts and times
full of it’s resources never ever to quit
Sun indeed you are one real star
makes a many bright smiling face
ice cream sales go through the roof
come back tomorrow to fill our space!
(some thoughts while enjoying sunshine on holiday in Italy.)
