The sun drizzled its rays on the
Choppy waves giving a strobe
Like effect. I had to turn my
Head away because it was
So brilliant. I am thankful for
The sun because all energy
Ultimately comes from it. A
Single seed planted sprouts
And becomes a stalk and cells
Differentiate to become leaves
And the small ears of corn. The
Cells become stalk, kernels and
Silky threads. Eventually we have
A lovely ear of corn. Only God
With the help of the sun could
Do this. A miracle from each seed.
We invent things which most time
Lead to the destruction of the earth.
We use chemicals indiscriminately
And pay the consequences with
Poor health, contaminated water,
And polluted minds. The sun is our
Friend but we must work with it. Its
Heat gives us CO2 which is absorbed
By plants and trees and they give us
Oxygen. Chemistry no one thinks about.
Yes, the sun is a wonder and wonderful.
