"The moon is always following me whenever I walk."

______________

My childhood phrase.

Last night, I captured this photo around 11:00pm GMT and I remember to share to you my great childhood memories of the moon.

Whenever I saw a moon beam, especially when its full moon, it reminds me of my memorable childhood days.

Every childhood days has a special place and memories in a persons heart like you and me. Generally speaking some of us has a great childhood experiences and some of us has a bitter childhood storyline.

But what is the most important is we, surpass and we survived.

Life is always full of surprises, most of it you dont like, never wish for, but this is your fate.

During my born years of 1980's my childhood days is far cry from todays era of millenials, as an 80's and 90's kids, my life was revolving to the era where there is no electricity in a majority household, only to those can afford and nearer to the mainline, except my household.

I grew up in using kerosene lamp, and everyday of my life, seeing my mum, preparing the kerosone lamp on the table top, pouring kerosene into the kerosene lamp, and lighted it up, when the 5:30 pm strikes.

And when its full moon, my family always sitting down at the backyard under our mango tree, to have a family talks and enjoying the moonlight serenade and since our neighbour is just a few meters away and, when they saw us at the backyard they will join us there too.

Since we are kid, if our elders is talking we cannot interupt them or join them, so me and some of our neighbours kids are playing hide and seek, until we get tired.

The night was full of laughters and enjoyment, we are all happy under the moonlight.

And if there are times that the moon is gloomy or just a half moon we are all feel sad because we cant play under the moonlight.

As a kids,my curiosity always draggimg me, I was so curious why the moon always following me whenever I walk and stop when I stop, that sounds absurb. (Silly laugh)

I asked my mother 'mama thus the moon follow me when I walked?" My mama replied no just dont look at the moon when you are walking later you will tripped, and I asked her again and again,my mama told me "the moon didnt follow you thats all...

Even during my early elementary or primary schools, our science subject never tell us why the moon walks when you walk.

When I reached primary 5 when our lessons is about the planet and the moon orbit I have a chance to ask this very long time question, that nobody told me why.

Our science teacher told me, that the moon never follow me when I walk, just like my mama always told me, only that the moon is faraway that is why when you walk it seems, follow you around because in a comparison and angle.

When I grew up, that kind of thinking disappear on my mind, but I used to enjoy moonseeing especially when its moonlight, remembering those days.... I wish I can turn back the time..

And whenever I do moonseeing I sing the song of my favourite band Fra Lippo Lippi and I love the lyrics of their song Beauty and Madness and with this line:

Over there, just beneath the moon
There's a man with a burden to keep
And sleep will fall washout rags and paper bags
Homes and lives passing by.

Lyrics own by fra lippo lippi (Song: Beauty and Madness)

I really like this song its seams that it described the peoples life under the moonlight.

The lyrics is so sentimental and has a deepest meaning, that what I can't described, but all I can say I love that song when I do moonseeing.
