You show your face
All shiny and yellow,
Making us smile
And making us mellow.
But where have you been
What seems like five years?
Having a holiday,
In the Algarve I fear.
So, you show up now
When we’re used to the cold.
Our heating’s been on,
It’s now covered in mould.
Our gloves all have holes
The fingers are worn,
We’ve forgotten about sunglasses
They’re just not the norm.
Please stay a while
And make us all glad,
We didn’t emigrate to Oz
Or bury heads in the sand.
Our features are grey
From not enough of you,
Our eyes shut tight
As if filled with glue.
We love your colour
And your shiny bright rays,
That seep into our skin
Making us lazy.
We’ve missed your brightness
The calming spirit you bring,
We hold our faces high
And let your warmth in.
It won’t be long before you go
But we need you more than you will ever know.
That yellow thing high up in the sky
We know what you are you are, ‘You’re the SUN’ we all cry!
Thank you, I enjoyed your talk to the sun.
Thank you very much! It came back today too – wonders will never cease 🙂
