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!!!!
