The Moon and You

by Elizabeth

The full white moon shone in the sky
That cold autumnal night.
She rose up high above the earth
To break the dark with light.
The moon has always lit the night
So in dark we could see.
Perhaps she knew to brighten
Your path to eternity.
There was no way a one could know
That night would be your last
That you would leave the world behind
So quickly and so fast.
For though you seemed so happy
You were ready to let go
Of the pain that weighed your soul down
More than anyone could know.
And though we did not know
Just what you were going through
The moon saw things we couldn't
And she shone her light for you.
