The Moon Watcher

By PATRICE BAILEY, (sister of Jacqueline Billy)

I see you coming through the trees.

The woods are trying to hide you but

I see your glowing shape rising higher

and higher until no trees are near!

I am a moon watcher! You make my

heart flutter! Then a peace of knowing 

you’ll always be there! You are a Peek

through a cloud in the night time starry black sky!

You make the sea tides ebb and flow!

I Watch to see when you make the  Waves low

so i can run quickly and reach for that shell !

I don’t fret when my boots get wet but smile

that im so grateful now to make that run every

day if I want! Even i can see you in the day so faint

but always there.  Like a distant friend !

I like your crescent shape the best! I see that sparkling

Fairy sitting on you and counting the stars !

I Guess i will always be a moon watcher!
