WISHING FOR MOONBEAMS
Each night I look for man in the moon
Wondering if he is looking back to see
Wiishing the light of the moonbeams
Would come down and rescue me
Then one magical night it happened
I began flying straight up to the moon
Moonbeams the colors of rainbows
Floating high like a child's lost balloon
Looking back the world looked smaller
Felt so lost when I was back there
Nnow all my fears seem to disappear
Drifting in moonbeams without a care
I could spend days counting the stars
Or visit the heavenly constellations
Bounce around on 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
Suddenly awakened back on Earth
Mind wondering where it has been
My dream come true, flew to the stars
It was not what I thought it would be
Still I look nightly for 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
