By the light of the Moon

I ran away

I ran that day

Not wanting to go home

When evening time it kicked in

It began to scream and cry

Noises that I have never heard before

Began to creep up on me

Were knocking at my door

Except I was out in the open

With nothing to shelter me

No home no mam and dad

No place to call home

You see

Now regretting what I had done

Chilled to the bone

What’s that noise I scared myself

It was tummy rumbling all along

Stopping at an old deck house

Situated on the lake

I looked up to the moon

And said, oh what a terrible mistake

Looking at me half asleep

I could barely keep my eyes open as they did weep

Dry up your eyes

Don’t be afraid

Who is that

Said the little boy

It is me the moon

I know you will be home soon

Why did you wonder away

On such a cold and frosty day

Why run away from home

You no it is no fun been alone

I agreed with him

When I felt shock no more

I wanted to go out to explore

Before I knew it

I was lost

Not near home any more

Now I am scared all alone

You’re here with me

 I will watch out for you

I can see you asleep

Close your eyes

Not a peep

As he lay in the old house

With the moon watching over him

The morning broke

His mother and father finally found him

After nearly having a stroke

Where were you

You know how worried we were

I know and I am sorry

I didn’t mean to wonder far

But the moon

Look up and see

He watched over me

He kept me from harm

Reaching out for his parents warmth

And their loving arms

The moon said his good byes

But promised to always be there

For the little boy who had adventure

And the mother and father who cared
