The Ocean asked the moon

"Why do you shine your light in the dark?"

The Moon replied

"To show the path to those who are lost"

The Moon asked the Ocean

"Why are you so cold and unforgiving?"

The Ocean replied

"It is just my nature"

Yet the Moon did not realize

The ocean too reflects the light.
