I will not compare
The gleaming sun
To the shimmering moon
Nor how the golden ball light the day
And how the crystal face
Overcomes the night
How the sun erases darkness
And how the moon sheds the
Dimming blanket of evening
I will not compare
The glorious light they gave
To the humble earth
The both shine if it’s their time
Fulfilling their duty of giving candles
Don’t say that one shines brighter over the other
Yes, they are different
But do not ever compare them
It is just like you and I
We have our abilities,
Talents, and tasks to do in life
But I will not boast of who I am
And what I will become.
We both shine on our time
Maybe you’re now and I –later
Maybe tomorrow I’m on the summit
And one day you’re on the pinnacle
So do not ever boast or compare
Remember the sun and moon,
Today and tomorrow, the past and the future.
