The sun sets every night
After a long, hard day at work
Shining bright on everyone
While forgetting to shine bright
On itself.

The sun hides behind dark
Storm clouds and cries
Cooling everyone down
While they yearn and pray
For the sun to come back.

The sun shines the brightest
On days when everyone needs
A break from their daily lives
Bringing warmth and joy
Without care for itself.

The moon rises every night
Breaking through the
Darkness of night
Lighting the paths of
The night wanderers.

When everyone is asleep,
The moon guides all the
Heroes and heroines who
Don’t wear capes but uniforms
Back home safely to their families.

The moon’s soft light
Enters the windows of
Little children soothing them
And sings a lullaby softly into
Their ears putting them to sleep.

When the sun and the moon
Are depressed or overwhelmed,
They reach out to each other
And they embrace for a hug;
It’s a total eclipse of the heart.

Be the sun and the moon
In someone’s life - bring joy,
Bring love, bring laughter,
Bring calmness, bring hope.
Shine bright like the sun and the moon.
