The Sun is a Pleasant Sight

 I opened the door in the morning

And in came God's beautiful sun.

It was dressed as in gold, a sight to behold;

I saw it was second to none.

It illumined the entire kitchen

With its radiant, all-day smile,

And I saw on its face as I stood there

That it come by to stay for awhile.

As it entered, I greeted it gladly;

Now gone was the dark of the night.

'Twas a pleasure to see its bright beauty;

Oh, it was a sunshiny sight.

It dusted its sunbeams upon me

And stayed with me all day through;

Then it left at the evening sunset

To shine on somebody new.

~ Loise Pinkerton Fritz

Truly the light is sweet,

and a pleasant thing

it is for the eyes

to behold the sun.

Eccl. 11:7
