IF I COULD STAND ON THE MOON


     From up so high beyond what Is sky, what I might see,


    Below motionless oceans, a creation of what was dreamed.


     The universe from all around before these amazed eyes,


   From where I stand the earth could sit In my hand, visualize.


     If I could stand on the moon then the stars I might touch,


      A comet speeding on by, a ride on It perhaps In my mind.


       Darkness stays here with me as I am In a far off land,


     What lives up here all dances In rhythm like a quiet song.


     Run I could not but float like a balloon would be this man,


 If I could stand on the moon then I would be on top of the world.
