Lovers

I see them dancing Across the Milky Way I see them singing In the sky mid-day Theirs is a song Made for lovers Hearts rejoicing Beating as one They are floating To the rhythm Of the music As if they were still young Touching, reflecting Back to ones They loved From a constellation High above, Today still in love And they're still relating To us from above As they sail The heavenly sky They send a message That there are no goodbyes I view their touching Movements The universe Their dance floor The clouds gather To applause once more Clapping floating Singing from the sky (This is dedication to my parents M.K. and Marie Morgan, who when they were young loved to dance. I got the idea when listening to John Denver singing the song "A Song For All Lovers". My father has been dead for 13 years and mother who has been dead for ll years. They both lived to be almost 97 years old. They adopted me when I was 19 months and they were 47 and 45 years old. I had trouble with the flow some words included are sent to me from James Frazer.)

Sara, your parents have to be praised and admired, for doing this for any child is awesome. From the age of 6 until i was 16, i was in and out of childrens homes and foster parents, so i can appreciate what they did. On the next starry night i shall look for them, Bonnie Poem>>James

This is a wonderful memoir of your parents, Sara! So fortunate that they chose you to share their lives. Thank you for your comments on my jaguar - it's one of the little poems I'm doing for a bestiary, for my granddaughter Charlotte. I like to make them a bit mysterious - thinking is to be encougaged in the young (and old!)
