Mr Moon, tonight I write

A letter for just you

It isn’t right that every night

We expect all these things from you.

πŸŒ‘πŸŒ“πŸŒ”πŸŒ—πŸŒ›

We expect your total dedication

that you will shine so bright

To show up with no hesitation

Every night for our delight.

πŸŒ‘πŸŒ“πŸŒ”πŸŒ—πŸŒ›

More than that, your lonely light

It is a beacon for those out there

A reference point throughout the night

For sailors sailing there.

πŸŒ‘πŸŒ“πŸŒ”πŸŒ—πŸŒ›

Inspiration for those lovers

Who pledge each other's hearts

As if you have magic powers

And could actually guide their hearts.

πŸŒ‘πŸŒ“πŸŒ”πŸŒ—πŸŒ›

Even on the darkest night

When clouds are covering you

We expect you to still be bright

The things we ask of you.

πŸŒ‘πŸŒ“πŸŒ”πŸŒ—πŸŒ›

So, as I look at you tonight

One thing I want to say

Thank you for your constant fight

To always be this way.

πŸŒ‘πŸŒ“πŸŒ”πŸŒ—πŸŒ›

Till next time,

Calvin
