Sunshine
Close-at-hand star bringing life-granting light.
Warm rays soaked up by the Earth – growing plants.
Mysterious sights to deep sea creatures.
Wondrous phenomenon: total eclipse.
Both helpful and harmful; cancer bringer.
Protection a must on hot summer days.
Ceaselessly marking time’s gradual march.
Turning seasons: forever constant friend.
