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.
