Bones Ache Yet Heart Sings

Once upon a time when I was a child of three looking at the stars and whispering to the moon, I sang me a song of love; then the years went by and I lost my girlish ways forgetting the view I saw, life became unclear as dry bones began to ache Returning to love I recalled the moon and stars and the girl who sang; When I was a child of nine, yes, the world was truly mine The whispering moon was a big fat red balloon that made my heart sing; Though I always sang in tune, life was over, way too soon.
