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 sense innocence in every line, and the kind and gentle words if a mother. That make it possible to follow your dreams. A lovely journey on ink and paper.

as you got older and grew, could you touch it then?

Maybe you could play a round of golf on the moon!

I remember seeing the moon landing on TV, but I think it might have been a rerun, as I was less than a year old at the time and thankfully I didn't give a hoot for current affairs at the time.
If I did think anything, it would more than likely have been " ooh! That thing on the telly looks like a giant Farleys rusk! Gimme!"
😃
I do remember later on wondering if my new Christmas gift of an evel knieval stunt rider bike could jump over the moon. Thankfully it was only big enough for the Evel Knieval doll to sit on, which was lucky because I think he was made of bits left over from Steve Austin and they could rebuild him. I on the other hand was made of ouches, which I tested at every opportunity, much to the dismay of my mother! 😃

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.

[Betty Hermelee]

the moon is quite inspiring and haunting as well
thank you my friend….much appreciated🌷
