Man in the Moon
You glimmered at the start of a long night.
How do you stay there shining so bright?
Your eyes are such a vast, deep grey.
How I wish to fly up there one day.
Neighboring children go to bed for it is their bedtime.
I stay awake, so I can see your radiant light shine.
Your round shape reminds me of my blouse buttons.
For, you have many spots all over, I see a dozen!
O, Moon how I wish I could feel you with my hand.
When I am older, I will make a plan.
It must be nice to be close to all the stars.
All I can see down here are cars.
You and I are extremely far apart.
Whenever I am down I think of you in my heart.
How could anyone fall asleep, when you are there brilliantly twinkling?
The late night rain has begun to start sprinkling.
I guess this is a sign for me to go to bed.
It is going to be hard because your glow is stuck in my head.
I will see you tomorrow evening.
Man in the moon, I will never stop believing.
