The moon The moon shines so bright in the middle of the night. I sit and watch as it rises high in the sky. I open my book as I start to read by the light of the moon. The moon that is full is the best to read by. So bright, it's better than candle light. I don't need a flashlight to meet my friend the moon shows me the way. It's not dark night tonight I have the light of the moon for my light.
