Your Romantic Lights It Can Not Replace

Your Romantic Lights It Can Not Replace Full moon beaming down so brightly tonight Your dancing light did not seem quite the same Glorious moon, you are a lovely sight With love interlaced in your yellow flame! Watching you shining and sharing such gifts Lovers feel your magnificent powers Beautiful calming sky that so uplifts Gazing in stuttering awe these sweet hours! As dawn rushes up to your light erase We feeling sadness in hearts wanting more For while missing you and your smiling face We ask, you travel to what distant shore? Sun is wonderful with hot burning face Your romantic lights it can not replace! R.J.

When the moon leaves your shore, guess it crosses across the sky to visit my own. Indeed the sun warms our skin, but its the moon that lights up our heart and soul within ,Awesome,!
