Ode to the Sun
By: Holly BernittThe Sun
Man's friend and foe
The bringer of joy
The bearer of woe
Under your beams kingdoms
Have come and passed by
And just today
Under your rays
My epidermis you fried
Oh great Sun
Your light illuminates the world
And your strong heat
Causes worms to wiggle and curl
Under your hand
We, doth grow
But in your land
It doth snow
Oh great Sun
Thou art a friend
But also a foe
A bringer of joy
A bearer of woe
