Moon Exudes Female Attributes
Divine book expresses moon’s great wonders
soothing to soul that serenely ponders
while viewing beauty walking in brightness*
exuding sweet Eve’s female gentleness.
With attributes to ladies alluded
changing moon’s gracefulness is applauded
of varied shapes, colors, sizes’ presence
showing Supreme Artist’s magnificence.
Midst “… she that looketh forth as the morning,
fair as the moon,”** in Scriptures truth’s reigning
my heart thanks the Lord for His grant of light
saluting women fulfilling roles right.
Beholding the moon wrought by hands divine
luminous due to Creator’s design
radiating to smite night’s obscurity
I see Mom’s face, smiling with love-purity.
Joyously basking at the moon’s glory
I’m delighted in Mother’s victory
praising God for life-building pursuits’ flow
with Dad --- home’s sun, making us stars, to glow.
*Job 31:26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness.
**Song of Solomon 6:10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon…?
