Sun and Moon    
by Scott (7th grade)
The sun comes first,
    Then the moon.
Or is it the other way around?
You truly see the sun at noon.
But then it sinks to the ground.
      
Day by day it happens,
       Sinks and rises again.
       Doesn’t it get tired
Sitting there and watching
     The small Earth spin?
The smooth glow of the moon
      In the sovereign night
      Rotates their singing
      Until it’s out of sight.
  Like an old man watching
Our land of disease and blight.
      So every night at nine
      Remember what I said.
Even the big sun lets the moon shine
     While you lay there in your bed.
