My Buddy - The Sun

by Mallika Sahai - L.A. Matheson Secondary, Surrey BC May 31, 2010

Knock! Knock! On my window
Oh no! It’s a Sunday.
I snuggle back in the pillows
Trying to catch a few more naps

No way! It’s again a knock knock
And a tap tap, a warm pat.
I open my eyes
“Oh Sun! Why are you so bad?
Don’t you want me to rest and nap?”

He winks his bright mischievous wink.
“Darling, it's morning I think.
Throw away your blanket of mink
Let yourself laze in a bubble bath sink.”

I go red and pink.
“You know what,
I can vanish you with two winks.”
But then, why not listen to my buddy I think.

He is the one who plays hide and seek since I was a child.
Although a fiery sun, for me he is mild,
He gives me brotherly warm hugs
Whenever my heart is lonely, cold and wild.

Most of the time, he fumes and frets
Sometimes he frowns, and makes me sweat
But when he, his dashing eyes and smile flash
I give up! And don’t want to clash.

He is my buddy! And my life’s part!
Oh sure! He is close to my heart
So I get up with a start
OK Sun! Let’s go, play and have fun.
