Shape changes but your presence is constant
The spark you provide is inspiring and vibrant
Even the light from a thousand lamps
Could not illuminate the large earth
As much as you do, everyday
Like a toddler you rise and fall each day
Only to grow bigger in an orderly way
Symmetry and discipline we learn from you
Your loyalty is magnetic
Carrying the Earth’s tides with you
Wherever you go..
You are a sign of eternal love
Your journey is a story in itself
The beauty that you flaunt each day
Rattles the brains of many
How could there be anything
As beautiful and brilliant as you!
But behind that untold beauty
There remain scars and marks
They hide deep secrets inside them
As if they are remains of a conspiracy
To destroy your very integrity
The marks add to your beauty
They convey the message of survival in adversity
You continue swinging across the vast skies
Come whatever may
Your beauty will never die!
