I vanish in the day but shine at night
I pull the ocean with all my might

What am I?

I light the dark but I’m not the sun
When night arrives my job’s begun

What am I?

I have craters but never pain
I shine through clear and cloudy rain

What am I?

I follow you though you never chase
I glow above in outer space

What am I?

I am Earth’s one loyal friend
Around the world my path will bend

What am I?

I shine without a single flame
Even kids all know my name

What am I?

I share the sky with stars above
And glow on nights made for love

What am I?

I stay awake when sun must sleep
I watch the world the woods the sheep

What am I?

I do not blink I do not fall
Dreamers still give me their call

What am I?

I look down on seas and land
Yet you can’t touch me with your hand

What am I?

I wear new clothes every month
I don’t go shopping once

What am I?

I grow each night until I’m round
Then slowly fade without a sound

What am I?

Half of me is dark half is light
Changing shape is my delight

What am I?

I am thin as a smile then wide as a plate
Patience is key just sit and wait

What am I?

I hide for a night then come back bright
What am I seen on a clear night

What am I?

I slowly grow then shrink away
And start again another day

What am I?

I look like a smile up in the sky
Catch me before I pass by

What am I?

I’m a circle only once a month
That’s the night when wolves all hunt

What am I?

I grow stronger as nights go by
Then vanish as the sun draws nigh

What am I?

I change my face not my place
I circle Earth at steady pace

What am I?

Without me tides would sleep
With me they rise and leap

What am I?

I call the wolves to sing at night
When I am big and shining bright

What am I?

I glow on crops and farmers cheer
My name comes once each harvest year

What am I?

I look so red I seem to bleed
A spooky sight on which some read

What am I?

I am so rare you say “once in a…”
When I return the sky is blue

What am I?

I hide the sun and turn day to night
For just a moment blocking light

What am I?

I vanish into Earth’s dark shade
Until the glow begins to fade

What am I?

I am silent yet pull with force
Guiding oceans on their course

What am I?

I leave marks that never fade
By falling rocks I was made

What am I?

I am the place where men once stood
A step for mankind understood

What am I?

I am full but not with food
I light the forest change the mood

What am I?

I happen once every two or three years
People cheer when my face appears

What am I?

I turn red during eclipse night
Giving watchers quite a fright

What am I?

I am yellow when I rise so low
Farmers love my gentle glow

What am I?

I am the moon that says goodbye
When the sun begins to rise the sky

What am I?

I am thin as a thread hard to see
The very first phase that comes to be

What am I?

I am rare but double the fun
When two full moons meet the sun

What am I?

I am the glow on the ocean’s skin
Showing where waves have been

What am I?[

su_spoiler title=”Answer Reveal” style=”fancy” icon=”folder-2″]Moonlight Reflection[/su_spoiler]

I am dark and cross the moon
Causing night to end too soon

What am I?

I am the man many claim to see
Smiling down so quietly

What am I?

I am bigger than usual a stunning sight
I shine so bright on summer night

What am I?

I am powdery and stick to your boot
Collected by astronauts as moon loot

What am I?

I am grey and small but hold great worth
I come from space not from Earth

What am I?

I was the first man to take a leap
My words are remembered deep

What am I?

I am the mission that brought men to the moon
Played live on TV one July afternoon

What am I?

I am tiny but guide the way
Helping astronauts not to stray

What am I?

I am the rover that made moon tracks
Sending pictures on its back

What am I?

I am the side that no one sees
Hidden beyond the Earthly seas

What am I?

I am a goddess in myths divine
My Roman name is Luna’s sign

What am I?

I am the dream of building there
A future home for all to share

What am I?
