18. Lovely poem!

Thanks for sharing it and welcome to DU!

Ah, the moon. For me, I can't help but think about my dad every time I see the moon. He was a serious amateur astronomer. Every
house we lived in when I was a child/teenager, he built an observatory--with a roof that rolled off-- to house his telescope in the backyard .

And I think about reading the children's book, Goodnight Moon, over and over and over again to my boys when they were little.

It makes me remember seeing the moon walk--on TV in the patient lounge--of the hospital where I was working at my first real full-time
job the summer after I graduated from high school.

The bedroom where I sleep now has a window that faces south. There are times when I awake, in the middle of the night, I can see the moon
from the window beside the bed. And I am home.
