Of
all the myriad countless stars out there in space
Sun
is our own star, our light!
All
other stars come blooming in the night
The
sparkling luminous ball shining by the ongoing fusion reaction
Without
it we are nowhere, in pitch dark
We
owe it to the grand sun making the Earth livable, we live
Without
it no existence, everything out on this fantastic world
Without
it no photosynthesis, no plant,.no food
Besides
you, me, all earthlings, flora and fauna
All
owe our existence to the dazzling sun
A
star not livable, yet lovable!
Like
all good things have to come to an end
Sun
too has to end when fusion fuel runs out
Thank
God not anytime sooner much after our lifetime
Life
times of the gen next, gen next and next
Till
another few billion years to go for the halt
Still
shudder to think of such eventuality
Sun
exhausting, ballooning into a red giant
Engulfing
our blue marble, a gory sight
A
death knell for the life flourishing hereabout
Long,
long time to go, till then enjoy the ride best!
