This poem written by Gramps for granddaughter Lexi
to remind her of dear times long past
Mister Moon
The man on the moon, alone there in spaceWe see as a sunny reflection
His smile shows his mirth
To us here on earth
With his lunar facial expression
As he circles our globe at a dizzying pace
Controlling our tides and our waves
We wonder just how
That high jumping cow
Has managed to so misbehave
Mister Moon has a way of enticing romance
Along with those stars way above
Regardless of age
The Moon is the sage
At beguiling romantics in love
Shine on Mister Moon, in your way out expanse
We mortals on Earth need your light
Your shine's for us fateful
For your beacon we're grateful
You moonshine our earth every night
