The Sun is a Gift

Posted on July 26, 2016 By Queen of the Pen

The Sun is a Gift

The sun rises without a care in the world
Except to bring warmth and light
No judgements
No bitterness
Just wondrous sacrifice

It asks nothing but brings everything
Some may wither from its heat
Others thrive from its brilliance
Live through its love
Live through its giving

When it touches your skin
Feel it deeply
Close your eyes and embrace the gift
The Sun is a gift of love and life
Embrace it. Never let it go.

The sun rises without concern
Of hatred or bitterness
It embraces life and growth
Live it. Love it.
Learn from it.

As it sets in the West
Bid it a good night
Knowing when it rises in the East
It will bring another day of beauty and delight
It’s the gift that asks for nothing in return

Accept the Gift.
