The Sun


The most daunting task of the day:

Getting out of bed.

It is easy to let the days go by

thinking there is never a reason to get up.

But, open your window, 

and you will see your reason.

the Sun. 

It wakes up each and every day,

just to greet us.

It spends its day,

lighting up the world.

How do we show our gratitude for its selflessness?

We wake up each and every day,

to be kind to eachother,

to make a difference,

to love the Sun just as it loves us. 

We spend our day

lighting up the world

with our smile, 

with our love.

So when getting out of bed seems 

impossible.

Just look at the Sun.
