It is the jewel of the morning sky It is a source of energy A source of life Everyone needs it No one save for Almighty knows as to for how many years it has been burning When it rises and when it sets It gives us two of the most breathtaking sights in the world Just this incredible myriad of colours fills up the sky When the sun rises it announces the beginning of the day Gradually everyone from birds to animals to humans Start to get on the move The day begins And then at evening when it finally goes down in the distant horizon Creating a visual spectacle The artificial lights take over The flavour all around changes But it's not quite the same without the sun During the winters when the body shivers and feels so very numb It provides the much needed warmth and gives relief from the harsh cold winds During the monsoons it is sometimes not visible The dark and gloomy clouds conceal it But after the clouds have broken down and a downpour is complete The sun peeks out from behind Just in time to meet 'vibgyor' Ah!what a sight!!! But during the summers it can be harsh At times the sweltering heat can get unbearable But then again it gives you the opportunity to tan your skin And then of course there are ice-creams and shakes to look forward to I have always loved the sun I enjoy basking in it's glory Feeling it warm every inch of me Burning away my fears and insecurities And re-energizing my soul Oh dear sun!..what would i do without you? You truly motivate me In your presence i feel like superman No task seems too difficult No dream seems impossible
