Written, June 15, 2026 For the Contest, “Heat Of The Heartbeat” “I will find you beyond the stars” - Chosen Theme Sponsor, Ink Empress ~3rd Place
1916-1971
So long ago you left my perfect world. You were fifty-five- I was thirty-two. My broken heart that day became unfurled! How could this ever happen, losing you? Dear Mom, I've missed you by my side each day. It's been so many years since you've been gone. You never saw your grandkids grow to say that they have grandkids too to love and fawn. Yet, through these years, you often came to me- I felt you by my side so many times. Your spirit up above, so hopefully, enfolds me in your arms, to see the signs. In time, I will find you beyond the stars! Reborn togetherness will then be ours.
