Poetry Train Monday - 57 - Fly Me To The Moon

My niece Christi married her sweetheart, Jeremy on July 11th, which also happened to be my 16th wedding anniversary. She chose her special day to coincide with ours, and my heart was full of love for her all day long. We couldn't be there to share their beautiful event, because we were in Yarmouth to celebrate my grandmother's life and lay her to rest with my grandfather.

For this week's Poetry Train, I'm dedicating one of my favorite Frank Sinatra ballads to Christi and Jeremy.






Fly Me To The Moon

Fly me to the moon
And let me sing among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me





Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

- Bart Howard, 1954
