The Man In The Moon

You sit lonesome
On a crescent moon
Swinging your legs
I tell you to come down
I tell you it's too soon

You gaze down at me
Smile your gracious smile
Say you can't see a ladder
That you might stay a while

Come down I say hopefully
You can see the sun from here
I can help you find it
I can move it nearer

I hold the world up to you
It can be beautiful I say
If you wish it to be 
If you want it to be

I offer you my hand
Please take it I say
Just step down off the moon
Kings can be made in the day

It can be beautiful I say
I can help it to be
Oh, can you even hear me
I cry desperately

I call up to you 
Take my hand I say please
You call back, say you love me
Blow kisses to the breeze

I have lived in the sun you say
It burned me every day
I can see all my stars from here
All my stars lie this way

I gaze up at you
I see that you are beautiful
Magnificently beautiful
Magnificently you
I think I cry

Simply lovely.
Great write. 
Extremely important message you have said with such grace. 
I'm sorry it came with a sad face. 
Memory is a gut wrenching thing. 
Can tear you apart or make you sing. 
Choose to sing. 
Smiles dear friend.

Oh Marion, this is beautifully written. It has such a nursery rhyme, fairytale feel to it. It is drenched in sadness and frustration yet the naivety of unwavering hope dominates. Hugs for you dear friend xx
