An Eclipse Is Happening on the Eighth of April 2024
An acrostic mention of the experience of four.
There is an eclipse coming real soon. I haven't noticed many since I was but a child. I remember that time with fondness.
Eye protection is so important in an eclipse to see
Children love to be involved, I did back in the 60s
Let me see, I was probably eight, or nine in 62, and 63
I wore my dad's welding helmet and there were three
People watching with me
Steve wasn't born yet and Pat was too young.
Every eclipse in the early 60s, I remember being with Dad, how Carrie and Chuck clung to me was rad with eyes closed so they wouldn't see the sun!
