A Place Under The Sun

The glowing light of star,
comforting us in the darkest hour,
a piece of God's heart,
looking upon this earth.

Rays of orange hue,
sparkle our life’s views,
pure golden light,
burns with God's might.

Central part of the universe,
giving strength to us,
glowing with God's blessings.

A place under the sun,
a place within God’s urn,
is safe for everyone.

When the Sun is low and unobstructed, it looks godly for sure. I prefer the smiling god you've written about...

Sun, sky, wind and rain they are all part of the world that provide for us and feed us. We are foolish to think that we are important!
