Lesser Light, Greater Light
Around and around and around,
twenty- three hours of orbiting around,
a routine in which I am bound .
My presence causes pleasure so light,
for I only appear to reflect your light.
Your brightness I cannot outshine,
and their need for you my favors can't outshine,
I have no qualities to learn how to shine.
They watch to see you set and rise,
and leave the hills when I am to rise.
An opening act to your grand show,
a gibbous moon shall show,
an half full moon but I shall grow,
and be the greatest light you'll ever know.
