Smile in the Sky

A smile was hanging in the sky
When I glanced up last night.
It seemed so like the Cheshire cat,
It filled me with delight.

I rarely see a moon like that
Back east, where I reside;
And if I said I didn't care,
You'd know that I had lied.

For how could anyone not love
A sky that holds a smile?
Few sights that Nature tosses out
Can really so beguile.

I think it was a waxing moon,
So soon it will grow large;
But it would stay a smile forever
If I were in charge.
