The beautiful Moon was lonely.
It circled day after day, the empty darkness of space engraving craters in its exquisite marble. Teardrop stars littered the sky, for beautiful daughter Moon. Mother Sun wept for her daughter and gave her playmates; Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus. Soon the emptiness was filled with swirling, playful gas. And yet daughter Moon continued to yearn. So mother Sun gave her last gift, love. A planet with enough beauty to match her daughter. With brilliant blue seas, the hunter green forests, and all the colors blending together in harmony, son Earth was handsome. And daughter Moon shed tears of happiness so that her stars would show the inhabitants of Earth her love,
her guiding light.
