She has existed since the beginning of time
A mere word bringing her to life
To fill the empty void with her brilliance
Her power fills the universe
Darkness fears her
                       but cannot exist without her
Nor she without him

On that first day, she revealed a new world
Her face smiled in that first sky
And we gave thanks to the power that created her
Her light gave us hope
Her name was Sunlight
                       and she filled our lives
She was our First Light

Since then, she has shown her love and light to us
Breathing into us life, her Sunlife
Today, I watched her rise into a sky of love
Her colors bright and bold
The warmth of her love
                       and the life of her light
Can only be one word. . . Sunshine
