In the beginning there was light that pierced the night, blazing father of the sky
The sun the only one shining on a world that spun under an all seeing eye
A bright star that does rise in the morning skies from east to west does fly
Born from night's grave us to save in a new dawning sky
From the dust and dirt life did squirt birthed from its finger ray
Heated air it blew with care into nostrils made of clay
With a borrowed bone a life on loan given with the warmth of its love
An Eden did create for man to populate, all sent from above
Moon and sun, father and son deities in facade
In primitive mind with eyes blind we worship the sun we've made a god

A fine write SB. Yes, in Charles Wesley's hymn 'Hark, the herald angels sing' a possibly confusing line in some versions is: 'Hail, the Sun of Righteousness'. Yet it is also in some Bible versions as 'Sun' (Malachi 4 v.2 in the Old Testament). Then a cross-reference relates it to Luke 1 v.78 - covered in my poem for today. Of course, it doesn't mean we should worship the sun.
And - makes sense to create light first - so God could see what he was doing maybe?!
God bless you my friend you made me laugh again yes he would need a light and lets hope that, that bulb lasts longer than the warranty. I kind of think the old man wears glasses now days and sometimes sets them down. I appreciate the read my friend and the kind words of mirth that brought a smile to my face on Christmas Eve A Merry Christmas to you Orchi
