Draw me a Sun

Draw me a Sun, that big ball of fire,

The rays light up the sky

and the world below.

A child says, "It's the biggest star in the universe."

Though it's yellow and bright

and pretty to look at

There's fire in its belly

It burns.

"Doesn't it make a lovely picture from here, Mom?"

The mom looks up, and it hurts her eyes.

The ocean drifts, a lullaby

The sands are warm

She is barefoot,

The child she shields

from the glaring sun

Under the umbrella

They walk hand in hand.

While the sun follows wherever they go.
