Hold within your arms a sun And let it smile and wish you well. Play with it, and when you're done, Put it where you'll never tell. Your sun will smile just for you, Being yours, and yours alone, Inside your palace, out of view, Resting in a place unknown. The sun we wish for you is bright, Happy doing what suns will: Daring to hold off the night As loves and dreams your future fill, Your cares caress and sorrows still. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
