The Sun

Why do people use the sun?
Its a word used for the beginning
And a word used for the end

Both the alpha and the omega
The start and the finish

Yet it warms our days, casts light where it shines and brings hope

Hope to the lonely, hope to the lost

Light to the downtrodden, the abused and the scared

Its a new light, its a new day, its a new dawn.

Dance in the sun! Embrace it, hold it near

Let each new morn for you be the alpha, the start, the beginning

Mourn not, fear not, grieve not

Do not long for what you have lost, what was never yours and what was never meant to be

Celebrate the gift given, hold fast to the new start and make the most of each breath bestowed.

Let the sun not be a bereavement, let it be your birth
