The Sweetest Gift

I don't know why but the moon is in my thoughts lately so I'm linking to Words To Live By with a post I did earlier this week. Such a beautiful song - it's worth turning your sound up.

"The moon is brighter since the barn burned" Matsuo Basho
Looking on the bright side!

This is for my son Brandon - carrying the light of the moon. Love Mom and Dad

Quietly while you were asleep
The moon and I were talking
I asked that she'd always keep you protected

She promised you her light
That you so gracefully carry
You bring your light and shine like morning

And then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
Your light fills the darkest room
And I can see the miracle
That keeps us from falling

She promised all the sweetest gifts
That only the heaven's could bestow
You bring your light and shine like morning

And as you so gracefully give
Her light as long as you live
I'll always remember this moment
