Hello Moon

By Diana Jaques

Hello Moon,
old friend,
I'm back again,
with tears to shed.
I know your sick of me by now, 
as you watch over me through the night,
and you watch the salty tears run down my cheeks in the pale glow of your light. 
I made it through the day, 
I'll have you know, 
and the sun didn't see a tear,
but maybe that's not something you are proud of,
but something you fear.
I'm sorry for crying at you, 
and telling you my problems,
your colossal rock ears must ache, 
and all for my sake. 
The next time I say 'Hello Moon',
I'll try to be in a happier mood,
because it's only you that seems to witness my gloom.
