The Day the Moon Winked At Me

 Yesterday,
 the moon woke up early 
 just to greet me.
 He came out when the sky was still blue
 and the sun was just getting ready for bed.
 He smiled at me,
 and then I heard him whisper:
 “Today was a good day, dear one.
 My sister, the sun, just woke me up early
 to tell me how brightly you shined for us.”
 I smiled back at him and sighed.
 And just before I looked away,
 I swear I saw him wink at me.
