I See Beyond the Stars

I see beyond the stars at night.
A peaceful place of delight,
Perhaps I’ll see my mother there.
Fly with wings without a care,
With old friends I can unite.
Filled with love they never fight,
In a place, pure and white.
People I know are unaware,
I see beyond the stars.
Don’t know why I have this sight,
See this glitter, oh so bright.
It glows and drifts everywhere,
Beautiful clouds of magical air,
How omniscient… the celestial light,
I see beyond the stars.

Greg, you have decently descriptive wording and appropriate rhyming throughout this entry. Paula should appreciate this one for her contest.
