Sad Ole Moon

The night weighs heavy with sadness
as a soft rain falls upon me
the stars are hidden
i feel the moon is lonely

Just a sliver in the darkness
his light is barely shining
the rain is really tears
so alone the moon is crying

For sunless was the day
the world had been so cruel
to glow in the midst of misery
he's finding hard to do

So I'll just sit out here till morning
keep him company
sad ole moon
you can cry on me

Sounds like a sad night, but you're offering friendship to the moon, comeradery, which is always great. Terrific rhyme scheme and read. Michael

Ron a wonderful collection of your feelings and emotions wrapped into a great poem. Sadness is hopefully only one day at a time. But I've had one of those days today! Peace & Love Laura :)
