Fireflies on the moon

bedtime story

“Is it true that we will catch fireflies tonight on the Moon?” She said with a wink as a smile laced her lips.

“Yes, my love, you will see fireflies near the constellation Antares. For this trip, to come to pass, your traveling shoes, must take a rest. So slip under the cover and close your eyes and together we will fly across the endless sky."

 “Granny my girl, how long will it take for the snow outside seems very deep?” Gazing through curtains of burgundy lace she spies her snowman with a smile on his face.

“Peyton my child, once snug and warm our dreams will carry us to a world transformed.”

“I think I’ll be hungry from a long journey there, what will you bring me for our al fresco retreat.”

“I’ll make some brownies topped in fudgy delight and we can drink from the ‘Milky way’ for cool sweet sup.”

“Rub my back.” She said in a yawn. “And tell me again about the planets above.” Still gazing outside and tracing the stars. I pulled down her blinds to tell of the heavens above.

“The black canvas sky looks a velvety treat with layers of stars glistening sweet. The haloed moon waxing full, orbits just there like a crown so pale. So hurry to sleep and dream so well for a journey is yours for the morning to tell. Look to the North for a shooting star, and follow the comets where ever they are. Make a left turn at the eastern sky and we will romp and run all through the night, catching fireflies and listening to the Cherub’s sing. Before you know it we will return from our dreams with sleep in your eyes and with a smile in place, we’ll have a secret to share from that very place.”

dearest Cherry.... once upon a night... dark and dreary...
I dreamt of flying away. where Blue Birds pray and we
wait at the Open Door... to explore... beyond infinity. tenderly, Pat

So charming Cherrie - the vast night skies above the States - and the snow lying deep and crisp and even. Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

What a magical poem, lots of love, comfort and mystery!

[emmajoygreen]

The child in me absolutely loves stories like that, Cherrie. Children can learn so much via a Granny's story.. especially wrapped with such caring love. So much for A1 and computers and screaming headlines- your given imagery is the very best adventure. What wonderful grandparents you both are, plus how special that small girl will be day by day and ever. Will look in for more sweet stories like that... :)

This explains a lot Cherrie. I turned right at the Eastern sky and now I know why I dreamt of screaming stop signals telling me to turn back, just before I crashed off the edge of the universe. But luckily I woke up just as I was back on track. Phew! 😊

Next time try fishing the 🌌 milky way. We cat h stardust for our hair.

Really nice detailed poetry Cherrie about a bedtime story with your Grand-daughter. Anything about the moon I find enchanting.

[Cherrie Palmer]

We are raising her and she had a hard time falling asleep so I made it a game. Every night we would do something different on the 🌙 moon. She would have to fall asleep fast so we would have enough time ⏲️

That's so cute and brilliant

[Arundass TP]

This is a beautiful scenic story written as if a nice poem. Really enjoyed reading 👍 A nice imaginative work.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Arundass. I use to tell my granddaughter a story each night about what we would do on the moon (once we were asleep).I wrote a few of them down to keep.

[Arundass TP]

Keep writing the stories. Please share to me also. As I may not pinpoint your story in long list. Good work. Make these stories as a book.

[Neville]

A truly delightful little bed time story, smashing in my book...N

[Bare trees]

Imaginative poem. The mind of a child that has not seen heartbreak, death or any of the world's troubles is like a sponge. Had life soaked us in all the good things since we were that age, imagine what life would be like. This was nice to read.

[Cherrie Palmer]

We played this game everynight for about two years untill last month and now I have her tuck me in bed and tell me the story.
