The SunIt’s like a shining shimmering sphere, floating up high in

the sky.

It slides towards the horizon as it moves on it’s way through the day.

First a few rays, cutting through the haze, then it bursts into view to warm me and you.

Slowly blinking, then sinking, it fades, melts away.

Don’t worry or fret, it’s not over yet.

It returns not long after the moon and that’s fairly soon.
