Notes About The Poem

Touch the Sun

Fear not the flames around you,
And those you think will burn.
Move on despite the chaos,
Until you touch the sun.
 
Travel throughout eternity,
Until your race is won.
Never let your love extinguish,
When you touch the sun.
 
Live on forever caring,
For those who fear to run.
Keep your light always shining, 
As you touch the sun.
 
Take on hope undaunted,
And believe that it will come.
Feel this pleasure ever growing,
Once you touch the sun.

Darlene, Well, thank you for your kind remarks and thoughts. The poem came to me in a dream after reading a story about the launch of the Parker Solar Probe to the Sun. Sanford
