The sun it was obscured, there was a dimming of light
Then the sun came back
and the sky again was bright
And we didn’t
look up so we still have our sight
“How did it
happen?” the little one said
“How can I see it
if I can’t turn my head?”
“Why doesn’t the
moon just burn up instead?”
So many
questions, they filled me with dread
“Well little one,
what happened today
Was the sun moved
around, and the moon got in its way
And it blocked
out a bit before the sun moved away”
And the sky it
was bright for the rest of the day
“I think
understand”, the little one did reply
“So many things
happen up there in the sky
As the sun and
the moon they slowly pass by
But the never crash, if they did would we die?”
Her question it
stumped me, the answer unknown
So I logged into
Google on my trusty iPhone
The search terms
I entered, and the answer was shown
“Little one you
breathe easy, we're safe here it’s known”
She gave me a
smile that would melt a man’s heart
As I turned on my
heel and I went to depart
“Grandad she
said, you are so very smart”
“Tell that to
your Grandma”, I quietly remarked
