Starlight Wishes...     
I sit at the window... staring out at the night sky the inky blackness looming back at me softly a star twinkles at me... I smile and close my eyes to make my nightly wish suddenly I hear a voice whispering softly to me it is your voice.. the one I thought to never hear again the softly spoken words caressing my soul so I smile.. and tell you of my life since you left of my loves and my losses. my highs and my lows I tell you how much I have missed you... how I made wishes as a young child... begging God to return you to me... telling Him no child should be raised without her mother promising everything I could.. but He never granted my wish so life went on without you.... I grew up... I accepted your loss.. and slowly the pain receded into a dull ache I knew would never be fully healed... I spoke to you often.. with the language of my heart and once or twice I swore you heard me.. and I smiled and I smile now... because.. if even for the briefest of moments we are together again.....and I love you mom!!!! © Becky Bixler 10-17-99



****************author's notes****************
the reason I wrote Starlight wishes is kinda obvious.. I often sit and look out my window... dreaming of what my life would be like if my mother were still here with me. I search out a certain star every night... one that seems (to me) to shine just a bit brighter than all the other stars... and to me... that is my mom... I talk to her... telling her of my day.. how much I love and miss her... and I feel just a little bit closer to her.
