Jealous of the Sun

Should I be jealous of the sun
                   Forever it will know the sky
Its passion in a fiery rage
                   Is never slighted to my eye

To see the world at every stage
                 Must surely be of valued fare
To warm the days of creatures all
                      With intercontinental flair  

With countless visions set to oil
    In paintings that the world has known 
It counters with its dusk and dawn
                 Creating paintings of its own

But then I think it still must cope
       With clouds and rain to foil its show
So such is life we all must bear
                 Should I be jealous, I say no
