THE LITTLE PEARLY MOON

Our friendly baby moon

whom we do not see at noon

was born on a bright day

and was found happy and gay

one day morning he saw his uncle sun

who was bright and hot and cooled none.

he asked his uncle how he glows,

and where from he got his golden gloves?

the uncle said that he had light

because of which he shines bright

the whole world is daily lit,

by his bright light kit.

the little moon, the innocent one wanted to glow like his uncle sun

so he set out on a tour

in search of light and was sure

he would one day shine bright with all his spirited might.

first he went to the star Bellatrix

 and asked for her light, without tricks.

but she said her's was a tiny light,

 using which he can't even shine at night.

he returned sadly from a every star

and wanted to plot a fierce war

but his uncle who had mercy

found his nephew sitting not in cry.

he promised him part of his light.

pat by part on every night.

the little one's joy knew no bounds

 and he happily hopped many rounds

around the sky in the starry night

and showering us with pearly light
