Moonlit Sky

As I sat under moonlit sky, 
playing GUITAR Grandpa gave me
taught me to play, I was knee-high
I feel him close strumming these strings.

Remembering his voice clearly
as I sat under moonlight sky.
His love filled me, I sang with glee,
he adored LILACS and peach pie.

ETCHING 'song' to my heart, I SIGH,
tears flow as I think of that time.
As I sat under moonlight sky,
CAJOLE memories in my prime.

I get MISTY-eyed about him,
He was WEARY, the end was nigh.
SLUMBER came quickly to rare gem,
as I sat under moonlit sky.

Oh, my gosh, have you left Soup? Where are you? How are you? Internet relationships are so difficult. I am left with no knowledge of you and no clue how to obtain such.

I have MISSED you so much and have tried since mid-January to come to you. I never end up doing what I sought out to do on Soup - not once. Sweetie, reading this I see your talent has blossomed since I left in 2022. It is truly noticeable. Sorry I wasn't around to witness the day you crossed a new talent threshold. Love you, not sure why you pull my heartstrings, but know you do. Did you miss my face? (Kidding) Poetry Hugs ... CayCay please read 'I love small boxed faces' on my 1st page.
