MOON LOVE

reach high

When i was a little girl

I would sit on our stoop

after we had our supper

and I would look for the moon

Sometimes it disappeared and I was sad

other times it was tiny

but I remember on a very clear night

the moon was big and round

and it looked very close to me

so close i held up my arms so high

I could almost touch it

could not take my eyes off of it

so real and so many spots on it

I was so excited, I ran inside the house

and told my mommy that I almost touched the moon

she told me that some day people might visit the moon

my eyes popped I was so amazed

I went back outside

but this time a cloud passed by

I waited and there it was once more

then reached and reached and I said to myself, maybe some day I can visit the moon too

I can recall similar experiences as a child. The full moon on an autumn night was awe inspiring to a small boy. Never thought of visiting it, though. I wonder if Mr. Armstrong did.
