The Moon and the Star
There was once a star who had no home
Though she was in the sky with other stars she felt all alone
She was different from them her light was not so bright
The other stars cast her out she was scared to fight
To make them see she belonged in their sky
That’s why she was up so high
She was special like them why can’t they see
That inside of her was a strong aura yearning to be free
But the more she tried the father away they stayed
The star ran out of ideas and gave up there was no winning this game
She was different and there was nothing more she could do
She decided she would do them a favor this she would see through
Go into supernova and be gone from that lonely place
Nothing would be left not even a trace
As she got far enough so not to hurt the others something flew by
A moon so far out here was a sight for soar eyes
She approached it and asked why he was here
The other moons hate me because I’m smaller they made that clear
So I ran over here to escape
I feel so alone and then moon drops feel from him like a lake
The star felt sad for the moon so she went in for a hug
As soon as she came close she lit up and felt a rush of love
The star had never felt this before
Something powerful had began to occur like a storm
You did it she said to the moon I’m brighter then I can be
As she turned to the moon she saw he was smiling like a beautiful dream
I’m not small any more I can’t believe this is happening
The moon and star had made each other strong they were now laughing
From that day they never left each other’s side
There was no need to run and hide
Sometimes in life it takes another to make you see
And together they can bring out each other’s best qualities
