Do you ever wonder

What would be the plunder

To be the sun that burns in the sky?

While bright and majestic

With a pull so magnetic

Yet no one ever stops by.

For in distance you give life

In closeness you take it

With your fire that burns so ever-bright.

Do you think it would be lonely

To be the only

Star that lights our days and nights?

To be admired from afar

But the most admiration by far

Is when the moon brings the darkness of night.

Blocking out the suns light

While only for a time

Enveloping the earth in a cool embrace.

With a circle of light

To show it is not night

The eclipse covers your face.

Crowds start to gather

And you sense joy and laughter

As they watch you, you sense an odd joy.

For even obstructed

They look up above them

To watch the splendor of you.
