mondays child...5~

Jessie Wilcox Smith 1863-1935

she dreams of the sea

the moments when she can run free

chasing the tide

counting the waves

she dreams of the sea

the beach

where there is endless grains of sand

shells that sings songs of time

she dreams of the sea

the salty air

the misty haze

she dreams of the sea

enchanted ones

whom only she sees

sirens that speak

for only her ears

she dreams of the sea

a cool breeze the carries her in its arms

swirling around and around

she dreams of the sea

the bits of rocks

the shards of glass

tumbled so softly

glistening in the sun

treasures from days gone by

she dreams of the sea

oh mama...when will it be

sweet child

full of grace

see us

hear us

for we are always near

rock gently

calmed you will be

silent you will fall

tired eyes

tenderly close

a song we will sing

a dream will befall

Mondays Child 2~

 by Bernhard Oberdieck

each day i wait for night to come

i am not scared

yet hopeful for her return

mr. sun slowly sinks beyond the horizon

and luna makes her way

i wait

with anticipation

for her to come

and swoop me up

to carry me high above

into a land unknown

it is there i sit

warmed by her light

comforted by her smile

and i look out to the little lights

 twinkling

glowing like fireflies

luna...will there come a day

when our adventures here end

she says gently

oh my sweet sweet dear

as long as you believe in me

then i will return to you

why ever would i not believe

well my sweet sweet dear...

as time goes on by

and you continue to grow

your mind may be changed

your thoughts obscured

you may remember

and you may never

but if in your heart

 i stay

this place will never fade

our time together will grow only stronger

Monday's Child
will be a place for all writers who are
 looking for a venue to post their children's s poetry, verse and stories.
I have always loved children's verse and
 have searched for a place to present that which I write to other writers.
