'ts all up to the Sun
by
Stella M. Turk MBE
When I shopped by the light of the sun today
I considered it, 92 millions of miles away
Its fires lighting one face of the earth -
That encircling body to which it gave birth
And whilst buying a bulb to see by at night
I thought ‘its due to the sun I’ll have this light
Even when earth turns away her face
And mother sun shines in another place’.
