Moon Poem – To My Daughter

The strawberry moon across the water

Made me pleased to have a daughter

 

By my side we stared with wide eyes

At the ethereal presence that fills the skies

 

What would this sight have meant without

This one I loved beyond all doubt

 

Inspiring beauty is of little worth

If you’re one and alone upon this Earth

 

Tis the thrill of meaningful sharing

Of that you see with one you’re caring

 

Otherwise oh strawberry moon

My thrill in moment would turn to gloom

 

Snug she stands in my shoulder’s love

My daughter and me and the moon above
