Sun Moon and Stars

SUN MOON AND STARS



When we were children,

we thought

our father was the gold sun,

and our mother the silver moon.

Not til earth set and

turned away from his sun, did we see

she was all the diamond stars.







(to our mother and to yours)











SHE TAUGHT US



Our mother taught us

that



the ough in tough rhymes

with rough

the ough in cough rhymes

with doff

the ough in dough rhymes

with snow

the ough in bough

rhymes with now

the ough in through

rhymes with you



and she taught us

to love all beings.
