Notes About The Poem

8/19/24 Sweet Lady Jane

Today is my youngest child/daughter's birthday! She is not a moonchild for she is a Leo and not a Cancer. But, she's the only one who lives hundreds of miles away from me and I miss her so.

Just remember when she was a little girl ....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hush Now

A moonchild under moon shadow,
     hiding in the dark side of the
          moon or darkness of the night, why?
               Come out, come out and go under
                    the moonlight and see the bright
                    stars twinkling, like specks of gold
               all over the clear night sky, pure
          black like a soft warm blanket to
               comfort you and make you feel
                    safe … hush now … shhhh …
