Image result for ladder to moon

Ladder's up to climb the moon Dusk is drawing bits too soon Still, my wee one, let's do try Stardust spatters on the sky Lady Luna's crescent chin Just a jester's glowing grin If you tickle that, her gleam She'll be tending ... as you dream. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "The Free Verse Or Rhyme" Poetry Contest Eve Roper, Judge & Sponsor.

Greg, a touching write. I remember when my girls were two or three and their fascination with the world.

Amen, James, I so relate ... my youngest is 30 now, (two girls, one boy), but those memories stay as fresh as yesterday, because love keeps them alive. Blessings and thanks, my friend! :-)

Love this very upbeat and inspiring poem that matches so well the image of that child, the crescent moon and night's mysterious and sometimes daunting veil.. A fav my friend.
