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
