I wish upon a star tonight to be where you are.
When you passed from this life you left a scar.

I remember kneeling by your bed each night as you slept.
You were sleeping like an angel but did not wake so I wept.

I would love to be where you are even if it would be for just a while.
There is an ache in my heart to see your blue eyes with your smile.

My love and devotion to you have always been forever strong.
I am still here stuck in this life, but I hope it will not be long.

I love you with all my heart and you were my life’s song.
I have missed you so much baby since you have been gone.

I look up to the sky tonight knowing you are far.
I am singing you an old love song with your guitar.

There are tears in my voice crackling as I sing your song.
I love you more, and I hope it's not going to be too long.

Edward J Ebbs - October 17, 2015

This poem is very well written. The loss of a love one is so very hard. May God grant you the peace and comfort you so greatly deserved.

A 7 for this well-penned poem. Your words "flew" off the page with heart-felt determined passion! Sorry for your lost if this is true. I just lost a loved one myself. Take care.

Poignantly beautiful. Would be hard for the reader not to be touched. I am. This could be a great lyric for a song.
