Snapshot

As I took a mental snapshot of the moon lit night
I thought of my father, as the stars shined bright

Touching and ethereal Alexis. Such a moving sentiment. Did you mean 'lit', just wondering, 'lite' reminds me of beer. :)

Beautiful Alexis, I can feel your heart beating in this wonderful piece Though there is a touch of sadness it is overshadowed by the love expressed in your words.
