The Man In the Moon

I sat alone
In my garden chair
Gazing up into the sky
The bright moon
Seem to beckon me
My heart skipped a beat
When my eyes spied
The man in the moon
He looked so divine
So warm and alive
He smiled softly
And I almost cried
My lonely heart
Lifted out of misery
My skin shivered
My face smiled
Oh yes he was
My man in the moon

Looking up at the night sky (or enjoying nature in general) always provides an uplifting feeling, Tahera. I like the approach you took for Deb' contest. I will be writing on the same phrase if the contest hasn't closed when I return from my trip to Disney World this weekend. Good luck in the contest! Love, Carolyn
