Thank you Sun, our own star

In the night sprawling the dark sky

Billion stars blink their distant lights

When the day light seeps in, the stars fade, vanish,

Rises the day time star bathing all in dazzling light

Thank you Sun, our own star, you matter most of all stars

You bring the much needed light for the activities

Energy for the world, the plants to make food

Without you we will never get to see the world in splendor

In all the vibrant colors, thank you for the day,

Thanks for pulling our Earth, us around you

Spinning us around, alternating into night and day

To take rest, sleep ,wake up afresh,carry on chores in the

nature’s arrangement to flourish life on the blue marble

being the nature’s own nuclear reactor generating

the energy, the much needed light to reach us

Reactions inside you to keep going billions of years,

Keep life going on here for as long as you burn

When you swell out into a red giant on burn out

Engulfing the blue marble and beyond we shall perish

That’s eons away, till then we shall thrive, thank you Sun!
