Sunshine Glazed The Planet



The sunshine glazed a planet and bent night into day
The sunshine baked a granite
and quickly shied away

The sunshine hit a mountain and then began to hide
The sunshine filled a fountain
and quickly moved aside

The sunshine raised a garden and gave nurture to life
The sunshine urged a pardon
and quickly ended strife

The sunshine tanned a body and did it as well found
The sunshine drank a toddy
and quickly spun around

The sunshine paid a bounty and freed another star
The sunshine doled a county
and quickly went afar

The sunshine gift was certain and left a future bright
The sunshine closed a curtain
and quickly resumed flight
