A Kiss of Sunshine

Each evening the moon waits patiently hidden in the sky
For the sun to say its final good bye

As round and round again we ago
The moon receives its daily kiss of sunshine

Light as a lover's kiss, careful not to bruise
Sun kisses moon just enough to bring
Magic to night time and stars above

With sunrise, moon once again slips away
Awaiting patiently for tomorrows kiss of sunshine

I love the title so much, Donna! It is a poem in itself; and the promise you put in it is fulfilled by the painting you are describing so romantically about these universal lovers who are everyone's best friends... A magical kiss! Must be a winner for the contest, if I was the judge! Good luck! Love, Hanitra
