The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
So begins Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous tribute to the moon. This night the moon shines not only on the creatures of the night, but also down upon a father and child. The moon watches over them every step of the way– from when Dad wakes his son to take him outside, to their boat trip around a cove and back home again, where Mom, with the now-sleeping baby, welcomes them home from their journey.
