Son Sun, Mom Moon

Son Sun, Mom Moon

Christ is the sun, and Mary is the moon,
we cannot see at day without the sun,
if Mary rules at night, Christ rules at noon,
for light at night, the moon’s the only one.
There is no challenge from the moon for light,
we sleep by night, we do our work by day,
but Mary’s moon reflects Christ’s sun at night,
and by His light, she shows at night the way.
‘Tis Christ the light we worship and adore,
her, by His light, we honor and revere,
His shining light shows us the way before,
when things get dark, she leads to Him down here.
To Christ, the Son, through Mary is our prayer,
we know our Mother’s moonlight leads us there.

Thailand and here the beautiful full moon shining in my window.)
