The Scarecrow and The Moon

There once was a scarecrow as old as the hills. He lived in a field not far from wheat mills.
He stood there alone wishing night would come soon, for you see this little scarecrow had fallen in love with the moon.
"I wish I could be with the moon tonight, for I stand here all day hoping to catch a sight.
An old scarecrow am I, a perch for a cat. All I could give is the straw in my hat.
What would the moon see in someone like me? My clothes are raggy and dirty you see.
Not new and big and gleamingly bright, like the moon I see so full of light."

One stormy night a strong wind blew, it was harsh and scary and up the old scarecrow flew.
Up through the air he went twirling in surprise, flying through the sky like the birds and the flies.
When he landed again, he was shaken and dizzy. Then he looked up to the moon and she said "hello there, I'm Lizzy."

The little old scarecrow was now at the top of a hill. Closer to the moon than he ever will.

"I have watched you from afar from my lonely sky, not even the stars around can keep this tear from my eye.
I've longed to speak to you for so many years, but you could not hear me all I could see was your tears.
I asked the wind to do me a favour and take you to my side. So I could tell you I love you and be your moon bride."

The little old scarecrow did not know what to say, as this moon had now taken his breath entirely away.

"I have also loved you for years and didn't know you liked me too. I didn't know you'd like someone with raggy clothes and a hole in his shoe."

"That's perfect to me but sometimes I am not here, that is my flaw and I'm sorry my dear.
Sometimes I'm small and grow larger by day but I'll always shine in my own special way.

You must not miss me on the times I have to go away because in your scarecrow heart, my brightness will stay."


"I will love you this night and forever more. I will love you like no moon has ever been loved before.
Marry me tonight and make me your groom, for you in my heart there will always be room."

So they married that night and their love is so true, every night they spent together was happy not blue.

You're out there somewhere, you'll see this one day.

So I'll write to you now, then I'll be off on my way. 

When I look into your eyes, my heart begins to race

You make me truly happy, put the biggest smile on my face. 

I can't imagine life without you, a single day without your voice. 

If you asked to come somewhere with me, I'd say "you don't have a choice"

You're my best friend, the best I've ever known. 

Without your touch or gentle kiss, I'd forever feel alone. 

I long to see your perfect smile, whenever we're apart. 

But the lingering kiss I'll leave with you, can keep me in your heart. 

Alas I write this now, without you here by my lonely side. 

I'm unknown to you and you to me, so in the poem I will confide.  

We will meet one day and no love will we lack

For that road of life we'll together walk, and never look back.
