The Lantern

"The Lantern" I am fully aware that the earth doesn't like to be constantly cloaked by the day nor the night, Which is why repositioning you is a must; though I hope, little sphere, in my warmth you will trust. With the sleight of my light I will whisk you away to a comforting course where the night equals day, And the people you house will have morning to reap, and a plentiful portion of evening to sleep. You will never eternally quiver in cold, for my smile has a zealous congenial hold. You will never eternally shrivel in heat, for the moon will ensure that I make my retreat. Is there anything else you would like me to do? As a lantern of life, I'm devoted to you.
