Moon Gazing

I took the kids to Litchfield for the weekend so we could celebrate my brother’s birthday and I could work all weekend without the boys recognizing it.  My mom and the boys spent time gazing at the moon and Venus and it inspired my mom and Jude to write some poetry

The Moon

by Jude Olson

In the blue pretty sky over the trees is the creamy milky moon.

Oh sky, oh sky oh what you hold.  For that’s what you have and need.

The moon so pretty and it will be there,

While I sleep inside in despair.

The Moon

by Grandma

Moon, oh beautiful moon

I hope to see you soon

Shining bright

show us your light

so we can say goodnight

The moon is full

and the oceans feel its pull

The light from the moon fills the room

Against a dark blue sky

I regret to say goodbye
