Of Starlight and the Mirror in the Moon

The stars are shining brightly tonight
and I've been told that means that things are clear
but they are outshone by the moon's false light
and it reminds me that no-one is near.

If only I could be just like the moon
and imitate the sun's glaring shine
then my summers might not end so soon
and under the blue skies you could be mine.

But then we would have something untrue
and it wouldn't be my light you adored
so what little light I have will have to do
because honesty is all I can afford.

I might not offer the brightest glow
but I give more than any star you know.
