My Little Moon

Moon, Lord of light, Protector of the night, You light the flame That has no name Inside my daughter's heart. She's only two, Though don't let that fool you. She howls at the moon Like a full grown coyote. With raised chin She sways and swoons Carrying her to the car from the party. Her in my arms, Seduced by her charms, I sway and swoon At my own little moon.
