I See the Moon and the Moon Sees Me

I saw the moon!

Sleepless at midnight, I wandered out on the deck

and there it was, just coming over the nearby hills.

First time I've seen old Mr. Moon since I arrived in Fairbanks, mid-May.

He looked good.  Hadn't even aged.

Full and bright and covered a bit with clouds that made him glow, reflecting his light a bit.

I ran back to get my camera to get this picture for you.

I learned today that this pretty scene is actually 

a Blue Moon.

Nothing to do with the color,

it means this is the second full moon in the same month.

It sure is an awesome sight!

That makes me think--  

my dear family scattered all over the world

is looking at that same Blue Moon.

That thought makes me smile.

*************

I dedicate this sweet, old song to my husband,

patiently waiting for me 4,000+ miles away:

"I see the moon and the moon sees me

The moon sees the somebody I'd like to see.

God bless the moon and God bless me

And God bless the somebody I'd like to see.

It seems to me that God above

Created you for me to love

He picked you out from all the rest

Because He knew I loved you best."
