The young child strolled with his parents<\/p>\n
in the cool of evening<\/p>\n
He pointed<\/p>\n
I overheard him say<\/p>\n
“Hola, luna!”<\/p>\n
High school Spanish came to me immediately<\/p>\n
I smiled<\/p>\n
and looked up, indeed saw the moon<\/p>\n
The boy had said, “Hello, moon!”<\/p>\n
as any child would<\/p>\n
in any language<\/p>\n
in any culture<\/p>\n
His parents delighted<\/p>\n
as any parents<\/p>\n
in any language<\/p>\n
in any culture<\/p>\n
would be<\/p>\n
as I was<\/p>\n
My heart quickened<\/p>\n
I spoke the words for myself<\/p>\n
full of first-sight wonder<\/p>\n
