Blame It On the Moon

I dare you to say, "It's because of the full moon." My heart is not made of iron. No magnetism Pulls me like the ocean's tide, Holding me here by your side. Instead, please tell me That our hearts will beat as one Regardless of the moon or sun. Say that you'll be here When we become old and gray... Then, say the moon made us that way. Ray Dillard 10-13-11

Ray, there really is a romantic quality when lovers watch a full moon together. I'd like to think that the romance remains when they "become old and gray." Love that last line! So nice to read your work again. Congratulations on your win in Russell's contest. Love, Carolyn
