To The Moon And Back Again Poem by Veronica Rosemary

Hand in hand they stood
Under the yellow smiling chap
He asked with a laugh,
Do you love me the distance up to that?

With no reply she stole away
And beckoned him to follow
He ran behind staying close
As she lead him into a hallow

Hidden behind an old gnarled tree
Sat a rocket, no longer brave and new
Despite her joy and zeal
He doubted that it flew

Upon it she climbed and helped him to her side
Then up she jumped and tied to its nose a helium
balloon
And to his great surprise all their loved ones followed
With a wink and wish they went, onwards to the
moon!

On they went, through the clouds
Above the earth they alighted
To the yellow smiling chap they flew
And upon reaching her were delighted

From within a warm embrace
She whispered this refrain
"I love you from here to home,
And to the moon and back again."
