Sister Moon

A poem about unconditional love.

 

Loving mother nature’s child

giving freely never idle;

sing to me your celebratory tune

of happier times, dear Sister Moon.

 

When children laughed and played all day

while we sat back and watched and prayed

with hands that caressed and held them close

and knew the love we wanted most.

 

 Loving mate and natural mother,

 one of them outweighs the other.

Our children’s love is what we need;

to watch them grow and then succeed.

 

While yearning for the ties that bind

we have their love, the richest kind.

So sing your song oh Sister Moon

and share with me your joyful tune.

I am simply touched by your praise and so so happy you enjoy my writing. It is inspiring me to write more which I have not done much of lately. My ink well, once overflowing, seems to have dried up a little but I am hoping to get it back soon. Thanks again for your kind words!

I know the feeling. Luckily there's no shortage of talent to read while we wait for the inkwell to refill

Such a melodic flow almost as if you were singing this as it as you were writing. Although, first line third stanza seemed a bit of a kink to me. Only line that left the stride. I though perhaps something as this "Loving mate you are yet more as natural mother"? The "but" to say that one could not be the other. You should submit this to the website "Firstpeople". It's an Native American site. I have several poems published there.

Thank you so much for your observation. I will look at it again and do some editing. It is such a pleasure to have you read and comment. I will go to the "First People" website as well!

Thank you so much! It was inspired by my daughter-in-law's mother who is part Native American. Your comment really warmed my heart on a cold wintry day :-)
