WHo Holds the Fort?

 When the Sun grows tired

When its spirits sag

When for strength, for rest

It yearns, 

To fill that lack

Would you stand up?

Would you hold Sun's hand?

Would you say, "With you I stand,

Take your break

I'll hold your fort

Whatever it takes

Return at leisure

When you're ready for more sport

I'll burn for you, I'll shed my life

I owe you much, you;ve given me light."

 

Poor old Sun!

So wrinkled, so grave

None to see your tears

To see you crave;

Burn on then

So long as life in you lasts

By and by you'll burn fast

One day you'll stop, for sure

When you've earned your rest

Await the Promised Day

Till then, work is best.
