Last Year

God made the sun with gasses
that burn with fiery waves
and as each day earth passes
it obeys God’s laws and ways
we spin around but once a day
with a morning and a night
as if to teach us all to pray
and thank the Lord of Light
our planet goes around the sun
on a journey called a “year”
we count each trip until we’re done
to mark the time we’re here
Then God will ask us when we’re done
with all those nights and days
what we did with God’s own Son
if in our life we gave Him praise? -id
