Goodnight Moon (US 2025 ...

 

Goodnight Moon a children's book by Margaret Wise Brown the subject of my poem and my latest stamp purchase was also a book that I read to my son when he was little not thirty-three, like he is now forgive my forgetting the details the book is no longer on my shelf but in the story it's bedtime for a little rabbit who says goodnight to everything in his small, cozy universe of yellow, red, green, blue and white including the moon which he sees out his window we all like to create a benign, safe, friendly world for our young ones to grow up in before they must encounter a struggle to survive prejudice, hatred, ill health, violence lying, cheating, and the rest I like to think that the better we can do to create this world for our babies and our youth the better the real world will turn out yet, I suppose, our children must also learn how to be smart, strong, and resilient but today on the week my son gets married I like to imagine that safe, kind world of Goodnight Moon

Really? Haha, sorry I got to it first. I really like those stamps. I think after reading that book so many times, it sort of got drilled into my head - lol.
