The inspiration for this poem I owe to my daughter, Amanda. We were traveling in the car coming home from visiting family and she was looking out the window at the ocean, very deep in thought, and said, "I always wanted to see the moonlight crackle on the water." To me, it was such a descriptive statement that I made a mental note to store away for a later time, knowing that one day I would write about it. I honestly don't thin she realized she said it loud enough for anyone to hear but so glad she did. Thank you Amanda for your inspirations, you give off more than you know.
