The Sun, the Baby's Eyes

On your first arrival to the world, you shine No time predicts, the hour glass gazes Spinning the golden wheels Sunflowers dancing in the fields Your rays penetrating the darkest of corners Quenching every sorrowful soul Your colors dancing in old and new, always keeping in wonder
