The Moon
Shining bright
 Through the dark, dark night
 Is that never ending circular light 
 In the sky
 It illuminates the black 
 And is mystical to the naked eye
 Yes, it’s the moon
 It orbits in space
 And is in flight at the opposite of noon
 Look, it’s getting bigger
 Or so it seems 
 See those little gashes?
 They go by the name of crater
 Craters have been on the moon for a while
 And will continue to be until much, much later
 So bask in the moon’s delicate grace
 As the man in the moon stares down at you
 With his crater eyes from space
 Look, the moon’s sliding down the horizon
 And with it, the sun is peeking above the ground
 But the sun will set when the day ends
 The time will come once again
 For the dark sky and the moon
 To once again be friends.
