The Cuddly Moon

The Cuddly Moon

I see you there staring down at us with a face that’s hard to read

I wonder, does what you’ve seen cause your heart to bleed

You’ve watched us learn and grow and even take flight to you

But you’ve watched us tear down our dignity and devour each other too

You’ve witnessed us gazing up at you in wonder and awe with open minds

Then watched us close them fast with pettiness of so many different kinds

No wonder your face almost has a bit of a tired and sad look to your gaze

Even with the great strides we’ve made these are not our better days

I see you there bright and full, your hope still lighting up the night

I wonder what would you say it would take to make our world alright

I know that you care for us because you are a giver and not a taker

That you would probably say to us, “If you all just knew my Maker”

I hope and pray that we figure it out and that we do so very soon

Or I fear that we will break your heart in two, you big old cuddly Moon
