Ballad of the Sun

Feeling the Sunshine, Spring 2020
An EHS Student Special Feature Publication
The rain has stopped
The clouds have finally moved on
Say farewell to all the troubles
And watch them leave
Now the sun has come out
To grace the weary world
With her warm embrace
And wipe your tears away
Hush now little one
And leave behind
The sorrow of yesterday
For the light has come back
Cast away the shadows
And lock away the doubt
For the flowers cry
“The sun has returned!”
Feel the sunshine
As it kisses your skin
And reminds you
Of peaceful times
Listen to the birds
For they sing out
“The worst is finally over
For the sun has come home!”
You have been through so much pain
And suffered much loss
But now, my lost warrior
Feel the sun upon your skin
For the storm in your mind has passed
And the war in your heart has ceased
Rest your head among the meadow
And keep my words close to your heart
Even when we are apart
Know that I am with you
Just as the sun returns after the rain
I will always return to you
