He made of himself the sun
with light and warmth
He bathed the earth
but man said that will not do
it is so very bright
we cannot gaze on You.
He made himself the moon
that at night lit the sky
with gentle light
that hurt no eyes
but man said that will not do
it shines the same as You
some may forget
that You in truth are the sun
the moon is just a reflecting one.
He made the moon go round the earth
and most times
a crescent make
no longer sun's same shape
but man said that will not do
in the night we should remember You.
He said one time per month
it will be full and round
just like the sun
but you are a demanding bunch
and for that, from time to time
I'll make that moon so fine
hide the blazing sun of Mine.
This is great. It is certainly true that we, as humans are a demanding bunch. Thanks. Richard

Fantastic. A very cleverly thought out piece of penmanship. A lovely read and a pleasure to find, I'm so glad I did. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
