Moon's Child

today i saw the moon covered. its light was dim but still bright under the covers. it reminded me of something a woman once said, "now now my child, don't you cry. for your light is too bright to be covered up by ones might"

i've always pictured myself as the moon, never as the sun. i wasn't all that shiny nor was i bright. i've always seen myself as a reflection of someone else.

in 3rd grade when i had cried, my teacher came to me a gave me a hug. he smiled, with crinkles in his eyes. he told me a story about how the moon and the sun are always apart yet so close in their hearts.

"you may not be a sun but you shine as bright as the moon. as the moon is a reminder, that i was born whole and no matter what phase i'm in, i'm still whole."
