The Sun Was There Poem by Okim Otu

The sun was there
amidst cluster of planets
yet dutifully illuminates our earth
offering heat to snow bound woods
and food to a thousand forest.

The sun was there
when the cockerel's crow
awaken sleeping minds
to the soft twilight of effervescent ray
that pierces chilly morning into brighten day.

The sun was there
as tiny seeds fell on filthy ground yet shoot
into trees so agile,
as the bud broke open into a flower so fragile
yet transformed into the taste filled fruit.

The sun was there
when men and women stands side by side
between the aisle exchanging vows
and in turn flout blatantly
without any votive.

The sun was there
when your sister's tears you wiped
and your brother; you leaned a helping hand,
when you showed love
and shared happiness around
The sun will be there as witness.
