The Moon and Stars


Look at the stars, look how they shine for you
     and everything you do- for love of me.
          Look at the moon and see the glowing view
that sparks my love for you unfailingly. 

The lovely moon and stars are heaven's gift 
     to captivate our hearts into a trance;
          the twinkling stars and moonbeams do uplift-
and help our hearts beat to a joyful dance.

The stars they shine for you, the moon for me;
     but moon and stars together rule the night.
          And even, through the shadowed density-
we, like the stars and moon, pervade with light.

Forever, may the stars and moon that live
     within our hearts- stay bright with love to give.
