Conversation with the Moon

Last night as I sat on the back step...
I gazed at the moon in the sky...
With so many questions that never had answers,
I decided to ask the moon why...

The moon has been man's ancient symbol...
for stableness, light, and true love...
When man lifts his head to the stars twinkling bright,
there's the moon smiling down from above!

So, moon, can you give me some answers?
To questions we ask every day?
Like: why do the good things in life disappear,
while the bad things just flourish and stay?

And, tell me, is there any reason...
for what we call 'love' in this life?
Two hearts join together, for 'better' or 'worse',
but the 'worse' always cuts like a knife...

And, Moon, look what humans are doing...
To the planet they call "Home Sweet Home"...
Why can't we just stop all the massive destruction,
save the earth and just leave it alone?

Oh, Moon, do I see what I'm seeing?
Do you have a big tear in your eye?
Do you see little children go to bed every night...
with the hunger that makes them all cry?

Yes, Moon, I can see you are watching...
Your place in our lives is defined...
You were put there for us to ask questions and talk to,
like a friend.......you've been there through all time...

Here's my very last question to ask you...
Do you think there is life out in space?
I could swear I heard laughing, then I looked up to see...
that the Moon had a smile on it's face!
