"hope" - a Star For Me

When parents don't have a choice and die And all alone survive the loss As I lie down to sleep at night They send in dreams... A Star For Me... When Motherhood gets disappointing And all alone survive the loss I borrow scissors from my heart With trembling hands I cut... A Star For Me When trains don't stop and soul mate's gone And all alone survive the loss I row my boat on lakes with moons, I jump and catch reflections of... A Star For Me When I am old, and years fly by And all alone survive the loss I won't be sad, would even smile As I lie down, a final sight... ...A Star For Me... For John Heck's Contest "Blink" www.scripca.com

Yes, a touching poem as Charma said! We all need a guiding star!! Iolanda, I too have dreamed of being OUTSIDE buildings too, just last week I was in a dream running about a college campus, strangely resembling my old hometown's Weed park but with buildings and then there were trailors and apts on the campus and I was getting more and more lost. Go see DAver's lastest poem. He is getting lost by the lost poems too. ahhaha. lUv, andrea
