The Sun

I will aim for the sun
I will struggle to reside in the sky
I will face the toughest storms
I will stand firm when the wind blows

I will focus on the light from above
I will open my dark places to be lighten
I will forget the mistakes of my past
I will rely on the light that shines forever

I will plant new trees for the sun is available
I will weed out the intruder from my soil
I will clean my farm for speedy germination
I will smile as my sun watches me harvest each day.

I will always love to contribute to poetry soup but it a unfortunate i can not be a premium member because there is no means to pay my membership fees. i have the money but in my country we don't use the credit card system. If poetrysoup could consider me paying through money order like western union.
