Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

All Shiny and New

Tomorrow it is due to come
Excitement rising like the sun
A gift for me from my grandson
Given with love to gaze up above

Tomorrow as I begin to awaken
My heart and soul full of jubilation
And when my door bell it doth chime
A welcoming sound for this gift of mine

Shaking full of exultation
Gently lifting from its box
Tears flow full of joyous emotion
Though having not the slightest notion
Of size
Of colour
Of looks
I will see
When opening up this gift for me

I pray that when the sun has set
The sky will clear ~ no clouds appear
Just as the moon and stars shine down
So ISS will soar above
And gazing at the sky in awe
At sights I’ve never seen before
Opening a world I never knew

As seen through my 
~ TELESCOPE  ~ 
all shiny and new

Eric Cohen August 12, 2020 at 9:07 PM Congratulations on your new telescope. I loved your poem. I hope you will check out Saturn and Jupiter. They are prominent all summer and a joy to see in a telescope such as yours. First time you see Saturn in your telescope you'll be hooked! Best to you, Ann. Ann Gilmour August 13, 2020 at 6:22 AM Oh thank you so much Eric for your wonderful words. Yes how right you are about Saturn, which I saw a few nights back and was totally mesmerised by her beauty as I caught a faint glimpse of her rings too ~ Wow...I am truly Hooked! With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Caren Krutsinger August 2, 2020 at 8:25 PM A wonderful gift! I hope it was everything you had hoped to receive! Congratulations on your win, Ann. Ann Gilmour August 4, 2020 at 1:54 AM It certainly was Caren, it took a while to set up with a little help from a lovely man from the local Astronomical Society, but Wow when I saw the moon from such close range it was phenomenal ~ then Jupiter and her moons... You can see I love it, haha... With kindest thoughts Ann xx
