Reach For the Moon (if I could give it more than one-word title) Go get your little ladder, son. A sliver of moon is in sight. Stand on a rung, darling son, and reach for the moon so bright. Heaven’s eyes are the stars in the sky, and like me, they watch over you. They twinkle their smile as if to say, “Reach for the moon in all you do!” 4/30/19 for Eve Roper's Rhyme or Free Verse Contest Picture #1

Very encouraging advice for children, and perhaps adults too. Nicely written, Andrea. I agree with you on the title, "Reach for the Moon" is so much more fitting. John
