Ode to the Sun

The sun shines so majestically

So glorious and bright

It's a testament to god

A creation to delight

On a cold winter day 

My sunny window beckons

My chair and a good book

Impossible to improve on...

Then springtime comes 

And I can hardly describe the glee

The sun feels like magic

When it thaws the winter freeze

But then why oh why 

Do we have to endure the stare 

from the summers unending 

Terrible and torturous glare

But every October 

The leaves turn to yellow

And we thank the sun

That its heat finally mellowed 

One season of the year

That's all that we ask

To calm that heat that comes

With summers hot blast
