Thank You, Moon

The moon followed us home,But my parents said that it couldn’t sleep inside.All the same, I spread the curtains wideAnd let it’s light fall on my blanket.And every night it came,And every nightI spread the curtains wide,Day after day, year after year.Except when it was cloudyAnd then I was afraid.And on those nights I shut the curtains tightAnd went to sleep as fast as I could.But always it returned.And through my lifeIt’s followed me,The moon,A faithful friendIn times of strife.And when I cannot sleep,I walk beneath it’s loving lightAnd it follows me where e’er I go.The light that doesn’t knowHow to leave me.Thank you, moon.
