In a dream, she sails
To faraway places
Hoping, at last
To find out what space is
A bag fully packed
She reaches for the sky
Balloons, shaped like planets
Will help her to fly
A billion stars fill the night
Oh! How they shine!
A little girl and her dreams
How I wish they were mine…

Golden droplets glow
Shimmering ever softly
In the pitch of night

I watch the sun set
In a brilliant blaze
Under a sky of stars
I get lost in their haze
Twilight engulfs
My most secret thoughts
As golden rays bury
My mind, distraught
I am captivated
By glorious, rays of light
That take me from morn
Into the night
While I sit here and wonder
What is to be?
When my eyes finally close
What is it I’ll see?
Will my time on this Earth
Be nearer the end?
Or will I still see the light
As thoughts transcend
Higher, like the swing
Which knows no bounds
I fly, for I am no longer
Planted, on the ground

I’ve traveled a long road
To reach my favorite place
I stopped to rest a moment
Found myself on Moon’s face
He didn’t seem quite happy
After all, I dimmed his light
I promised him, “Don’t worry!”
“I’ll soon be tucked in, tight!”
But first I have to cross the bridge
And make sure I don’t fall through
Taking baby steps, and carefully
Is what I’ll need to do
I can see my teddy bear
Waiting patiently for me
Atop my pillow, on my bed
Tis where I want to be
So we can snuggle closely
Perhaps, to dream of Mars
Where imagination can run free
Fast asleep, beneath the stars

Those days, well spent, watching the moon
I longed to be up there, to listen, commune
Along with the stars, shining so sweetly
She’s captured my heart, ever so completely
A child of the moonlight, carefree, gliding
While I’m down on Earth, watching, hiding
I don’t want her know, how I envy her place
Happily swinging, oh, the joy on her face!
I’ll wait in the shadows, as she flies in the night
In my eyes, she is starlight, glistening bright
