A Blazing Ball Of Fire

Waking up to a splendour of beauty,
Swimming in eternal blackness,
As the planets awaken, my heart grows fonder,
Because I am a blazing ball of fire
People describe me as the heart,
I am lighting up this stunning expanse,
We call the Solar System,
Because I am a blazing ball of fire
So, with everyday lies a mystery,
As I unearth more and more history,
From Saturn’s ring to my bling,
I’ve got everything,
Because I am a blazing ball of fire.
