THE
SUN
How you shine upon our entire
race
And you bring us life with
every motherly embrace
Crimson
is the color of your face
In the azure sky
Your motherly warmth is a
friend to all plants, man and beast
Time for siesta now rise in
the east
Off to work again
Now set in the west
You have the heart of Venus
And the talents of Apollo
Fairer than Helen of Troy
In your hands here lies
humanity’s soul
You re the lighthouse of the
universe
You illuminate the dark valleys
of the cosmos
And unveil its unopened
mysteries
Time’s chariot may fly
But your ageless beauty will
never die
So come on to me most high
Mother of Re
With uraeus for a crown
And a golden disc for a
scepter
You milk us daily with your
ambrosial nectar
Flowing from your bosom
Mother
of mothers
Father of fathers
Dictator of life.
