Day 8: Ticket to the Moon

Logan Zillmer Photography

I gave my heart

It was all I had left to give.

When things fell apart,

It was my last card against grief.

I gave it my best,

I have done all I should have done;

I passed the test,

And the rest of the deal is God’s.

I played my game.

I threw my best shot and hit home.

I lit a flame

But the wind had issues with the glow.

I made last plans,

It was all I could think to do.

I made them grand,

And got my ticket to the moon.
