Dreams To Run With You

Sweet Magic moon So how are you today? Spellbound me with your smile I cannot take off my eyes Showering your gold dust all over my crumpled room Still I can remember how my mom rocked me in her lap Showing your beaming smile high in the sky Singing her moon songs I favor so much Struggled to keep my eyes fixed at you serene smile Shined with your beams I used to run all over our compound Screamed gleefully when I saw you too were pacing with me Sometimes your face was hidden with thick wooly packs Searched all over with tears, for my playmate I couldn't catch So young and fresh, you look gorgeous Magic moon, but Striding in this long march, now I am feeble, not young anymore Strive hard to keep steady when I drag my feet in my walker, Small girl living in my heart dreams to run with you even though
