Block 52

I see the moon,

and the moon sees me.

God Bless the moon

and God Bless me.

From the earliest years

one looks up, 

into the night skies,

and marvels

at what one sees.

In what can be the 

scariest part of the day,

there is the moon

and stars,

shining down 

to lighten up 

the
evening sky.

Things always seem worse 

at night.

Monsters only come out 

from under the bed 

at night.

But the moon and stars

can be counted on

to brighten up the sky 

and relax me.

Even though I have been in

thousands of science classes,

most as a teacher

bit some as a student,

I am STILL amazed

at how they just hang 

up in the sky.

Sometims I think

we all live inside 

a diorama that God made.

Planets and stars, 

all hanging peacefully

from strings inside a shoe box,

until someone "rookie" angel

comes by

and bumps us. 

I know 

that's what causes

Earthquakes.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for giving me stars that twinkle, the Big and Little Dippers to search for and a moon to keep them all company. 

What fun it is to watch the moon go through it's phases. How exciting it is to drive down Market Street, in the fall, and have a GIANT, orange "Man In The Moon" smiling down at me!

You have taken the fear out of the darkest nights by placing these points of light in the sky.

Amen
