I GIVE YOU MY SUN

By Elston Perry

You are precious and oh so sweet

Above the takers and breakers

You are what I want and what I need

I know behind that tough front

Is a tender loving woman under the wrong sun

You are meant to be a moon

Silver and bright, light and carefree

Reflecting the she of the man

Heaven chose for you…me

You are meant to be cherished

Not bruised

Blessed not battered

Safe in your womanhood

Because it will always matter

I know behind that tough front

Is a tender loving woman

Under the wrong sun

Wounds of disappointment and heart ache

Shows in your deportment

And etched on your face

You are meant to wear a crown not a frown

To be happy and secure in your space

Having many joy breaks

I know behind that tough front

Is a tender loving woman

Under the wrong sun

Time takes its toll on you day by day

The one you are with gives no sun rays

Heat comes and fades so fast

You say to yourself

This time I will make it at last

At times you want to give up

But you always give in

Hoping things get better

But they never do

That’s why I am here

To rescue you

I know behind that tough front

Is a tender loving woman

Under the wrong sun

I GIVE YOU MY SUN II

So here…I give you my sun

Full of rays of light and life

Hopes and dreams

Comfort and warmth

Joy and peace

Supplying your innermost needs

I give you my sun

I will keep you out of the dark

And out of the cold

Allowing your brilliance to shine

And your spirit to be bold

You will never have to worry

You will never have to fret

You are the key in my universe

I give you my sun

To cover you with protection

To wrap you with my love

To hold you just tight enough

As you need

But loose enough for you

To spread your wings and fly free

So here…I give you my sun

To orbit your life

Day and night

And never spin away

My sun will keep shining

For you

Until the very last day
