Each night I look for the man in the moon,
I wonder, is he looking back to see,
sometimes I wish the light of the moonbeams,
would come down to my room and rescue me.
Then on one magical night it happened,
I began flying straight up to the moon,
the moonbeams were the colors of rainbows,
floating high like a child's lost balloon.
Looking back the world was looking smaller,
I use to feel so lost when I was there,
now all of my fears seemed to disappear,
drifting in the moonbeams without a care.
I could spend the days counting the stars,
or visiting all the constellations,
then bounce around on the soft white clouds,
as the stars twinkle in celebration.
There is no one here for me to talk to,
as a feeling of loneliness sets in,
I suddenly wake up, I am back on Earth,
my mind starts to wonder where it has been.
My dream had come true to go to the moon,
but it was not what I thought it would be,
I still look each night for the man in the moon,
but no longer need him to rescue me.

Fairy tale and romance all rolled into the one Sandy, sounds like a little inspirational poem that would go down well with many Irish loved one’s on Saint Patrick’s day. As too would truly go down well with kids being tucked in on a night time, good one for young and old alike is this poem.

Awesome imagery and very descriptive. I love your moral of being happy where you are, the grass isn't always greener. Well done and good luck in the contest!

Thanks so much Ann. I have no idea where this idea came from. I felt like writing a kids poem. I probably could have made it better if i waited till tomorrow to write it when I wasn't tired.
I had fun writing it, that is what counts. I will talk to you tomorrow. Good night my friend. I guess I'll go and talk to the man in the moon. 
Take care, Sandy

Bravo Sandy! A beautiful bedtime story! I loved with part flying strait up on the moonbeams, the color of the rainbow floating like a child's balloon. Beautiful images could feel the excitement and see the clouds, just lovely I'm smiling on the joy of the ride! Love the moral of the story, it was almost like OZ, but in this the loneliness sends her back. Fantastic! All the best in the contest, a beautiful story, Ann
