The sun came up as always bright and shining
The sleepyheads got up grumbling and yawning
“Why do you have to come up? Why don’t you just lurk?”
Complained the grown-ups who had to rush to work
“Why won’t you hide behind the clouds, you fool?”
Shouted the kids who didn’t want to go to school
The sun felt dejected and gloomy
“I bring light and erase darkness, yet nobody wants me!”
The moon that came up later saw the sun worry
Glad that the day was over, the humans began to hurry
She had been watching everything from behind the clouds
And she told him that things aren’t as bad as they sound
Unsatisfied, the next day he cranked up the heat
The sunny weather turned into a demon cauldron’s pit
The crops withered and the rivers began to dry
The parents began to wail and the students began to cry
All this while, a little fox had been freezing in the snow
And had been caught up in the trees with nowhere to go
Suddenly she saw the ice around her melt
Thankful to the sun, she darted toward her den
Her little cubs had been starved and afraid
Seeing their mother, their day was made
The little family reunited and thanked the sun again
And his wrath seemed to lose its flare
There would be naysayers and you would be looked down
But you can either let their words make you frown
Or decide to ignore the thorns and give your best
You do what you and forget about the rest
…now that you’re here
