Mother Moon

Mother Moon…

Mother Moon, Mother Moon,
what are you thinking way up there
as you take your nightly journey across the sky?
You rise every evening
as faithful evermore
and the darkness is made beautiful with your light.
You’re there each night to wish on,
you make hearts flutter with romance
and, yes, you can even rule the tide.
But, Mother Moon, Mother Moon,
you do so much for us.
What do we, Mother Moon, do for you?
Do you think and feel and wonder, as we so often do?
Do you ever tire of your journey ‘round the Sun?
Do you ever wish to change the path and soar beyond the stars?
Do you know where your journey ends before it has begun?
You pay no mind to distance
and you pay no mind to time
and you pay no mind to what you may receive.
So, thank you, Mother Moon,
for all you do for us,
for your selfless service and for your lighted beams.
