The Sun

Infant jaundice disappears on sighting her, Her gaze dries up moisture making laundry man, house wives and farmers smile all day, Her smiles illuminate and make darkness fall into oblivion, which also tan my skin and nourish my body, As I look up; Nay! eclipse! I’ve got to run . CONTEST:"The Answer" Sponsored by SKAT

wow, great metaphoric poem, Olusegun. I actually believed it was a child before getting to the fourth or fifth line (I had totally ignored the title of it before reading! Geeez, seeing the title, I realized DUH, of course it was the sun).
