LADY MOON

Your beauty in the heavens beams
the object of many a hope and dream,
shining with borrowed and mirrored light
set like a diamond on the velvet night.

Your cool light seems at times a pearl
as you gaze down upon this world,
your loveliness and radiance brings
our hearts and minds to dwell, on holy things.

This respite from sleep, a precious time
to ponder the works of a God so sublime,
of His gifts that keep on flowing
though of our sins He is all-knowing.

Sweet Mary standing so serene
stars round her head, all Heaven’s Queen,
raining down her love on everyone
reflecting the glory of her only Son.

This orb, magnificent and glowing
this wondrous night to me is showing,
that I too can reflect His love
that comes freely from our God above.
