The sky is filled with
Different colours like
Orange, pink, red, blue and purple
Which blend
Like masterpieces of art
The fierce Sun prince
Slowly comes rolling down
from the sky to set in the ocean
Making the environment cool
After a long hot day
Filled with sunshine and heat
The coolness of the environment
Makes the trees go to sleep slowly
Birds go to their nests
While wild animals come home
To spend time with their children
Just like in the environment
The human world is very busy
Parents come home
To spend time with their children
Enjoy the sunset
While the joys of fun, laughter and prayers
Of families fill the sky
Time passes and
Now the sun is sleeping
Making everything a sleep
The environment is
Quiet and calm, peaceful dark and cold
But the innocent Moon prince is
Up in the sky
With the twinkling stars up
With him
Watching everything below
Reminding us that
Tomorrow is a bright, new, fresh, better day
