The Moon

The moon makes its way to the earth In the darkness of the night Shines and shines in pale golden light Shines and shines the night to bright The moon stays high above the sky In a measureless distance high That no man can ever touch Its pale golden light does touch It caresses for the soul And embraces the soul Beautiful beautiful does the moon Beautiful beautiful does the moon

A lovely tribute to the orb that brightens "the darkness of the night." You make the moon seem like a friend to all men. Very nice!
