I Wished Upon a Paper Moon

I wished upon a paper moon ~ I wished upon a paper moon and fell among the stars Was whisked away to somewhere good a place just where you are Along a winding riverbed below a willow tree With fireflies to light the way, a path for you and me We laughed as if the world were new amazed within this scene Of lily pads and dragonflies the two of us did dream Holding hands and skipping stones the ripples came to shore Magically they disappeared as we called out for more Reflections on the water played in wavering design You pointed to the middle where a heart shape you did find And then you whispered in my ear my wish had now come true Out here beneath this paper moon in love, just me and you Good night Soupers Have a great weekend

Oh...Paper moon you never perched as beautiful from the evening sky.Oh rippling drops what a mirror reflecting a heart you did make.Oh poet,what a painting you have painted with your melodious words.

Don't know how I missed this touching poem earlier, Chris. You created a magical afternoon for two young lovers to share. I especially liked the way she noticed that heart shape forming in the water!! Beautifully written, Chris! Hugs, Carolyn

Hi Chris, you are a poet of "excellence" what a beautiful love story and what a kind heart you must have to poetically string verse after verse to finally reveal a soft and loving music like finale! Well done Chris. An amazing poem. Best wishes, Jennifer
