Destination moon

Autumn is usually the best time to see a gorgeous moon out my window. I was pleasantly surprised last night to find this when I took the dog out (really, Ezmond, you need to go out AGAIN?)

I forgave him. It was harder to forgive my daughter who used the camera and didn't charge it. I'm never pleased to hear the "I'm shutting down because I have no juice" noise. After 4 shots. Especially when I just charged the darn thing.

But the moon was pretty, the dog played happily in the moonlight and life was peaceful for a few moments. I'm grateful for that.

Seven

Days a week
Dinners to cook
Times to tell her I LOVE YOU
Hours of sleep
Promises to keep
Did I mention dinners to cook?

When you have not been given an end date but you know the end is near, it's the little things that show up in your dreams.

7 Dragonflies
following the sun as it sets
Trying to say goodbye
To people who just don't get
that what it is
is what it is.

I talk to her 7 times a week.
Shes lucky to hear from her daughter
7 times a year.
Poor little thing, she doesn't know
what she missed.

One day becomes every day
Every day becomes the one.

And I will sing seven songs of joy.
