Tea Cup Moon

I accidentally erased this sorry....

A tea cup moon hangs in the sky
Among diamonds glistening in the eye

A shooting star to wish upon
Falling to a world somewhere beyond

Gentle breezes dancing across water
Reflecting moonbeams one after the other

Crickets chirping, bullfrogs singing
In the distance people laughing

Alone on a sandy beach to reflect
Those important things I too often neglect

I'll fill that tea cup moon up with other wishes
And stay here till sunrise releases her golden kisses
