Here I Stand

Here I stand,
on this land,
where the golden sun does play.
And when I night comes,
I feel my sun, has gone
far, far away.
I want to keep it close;
It keeps me warm.
Happy to see its shining face.
So bright.
So kind.
I wait for the break of day.
The wind blows,
the trees grow,
and nature starts to sing.
I welcome the sun.
for day has begun,
and scared the night away.
He comes to me,
and here I see
my bouncing baby boy.
I had to wait to see you again.
Time passed slowly.
I missed you dearly.
My little bouncing boy.
My ray of golden sun.
I no longer stand on this land.
I no longer see the night.
I am with you always,
and the world is always bright.
