Time goes by, but none too soon,
staring upon a smiling moon.
Oh moon what secrets you must keep,
I wonder how you do not weep.
Confusion, lies, and hatred all,
and you sit calmly on your wall,
of stars and planets you never fall.
Oh moon what secrets you must keep,
I wonder how you do not weep.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN

This is a great poem. It is short, but it gets straight to the point and it went straight to my heart. Keep it up!
