Moon

I see so high above me
A globe glowing so bright
The most wondrous thing
In the sky of the night

I wonder how many lovers
Sat and gazed upward
Their hearts on each other
With eyes turned skyward

I wonders how many dreams
Dreamt by sleeping children
Under your silent beauty
So free of any burden

I wonder how many prayers
Were lifted by a hope
By people needing their god
While you helped them cope

I wonder how many eyes
Curiously looked to you
Trying to find just why
You always shine through

I wonder how many births
Occurred under your glow
I think of many new souls
Brought here to live and grow

I wonder how many men
Have sat to find peace
While your simple radiance
Helps their hearts release

I wonder how many lives
Have been touched like I
By your gentlest of light
Held so wonderfully high

I wonder how many times
I have sat and wondered
After such awful days
When life left me battered
