Oh, yes they do, my friend. You describe it perfectly. When I look at stars, I imagine small holes in the seams of heaven that allow the light of loved ones' smiles to let us know they're waiting for us. I'm not familiar with this contest, Jan, but I love your beautiful couplet. Best wishes for success, dear. Love, Carolyn

Jan Allison

October 11, 2014 at 10:42 AM

Its a very tough challenge Carolyn - 6 syllables per line with end and internal rhyme but I have given it my best shot:-) hugs jan xxx
