Long have I craved
For the stars
To see my shine
Oh how I've sought
To join them myself.
However
As I sat with the moon
He took me by the heart
And showed me
What it's like
To not shine for others
But bask in your own glow.
He taught me
That sometimes
It's the warmth of others
That bring you out of the darkness.
It is because of the moon
That I've never shined brighter.
