I am thankful for the sun

Such a bright brilliant sun

So tough yet so optimistic

When its gone its hard not to miss it 

Prompted up in your crisp blue castle 

While watching all the morning traffic & rush hour hassle 

Oh sun, how do you bear?

All the hatred and crime that goes on down there 

Yet you shine your light that is all too bright 

Until its time to rest and the moon rule the night 

Oh sun you think you've fooled me 

How you shed your tears down my street

They call it rain

But I know its pain 

From the crime and hatred you see again & again 

I can tell by the cool dark air 

That you breathe out and make me bear

Yet I envy how in no time you creep out 

And come up upon arrival with no more pout

But I am thankful for you

Because you taught me what to do

When crime & hatred fills these streets 

To shine & shine from my head to my feet 

Oh sun I look to you as I write this poem

To appreciate you for shining on my home 

And creep through my window to wake me

Despite everything you see on a daily 

 

You make time for me 

I am thankful for the sun
