Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

Stars Above They Shine For You

The stars above they shine for you
Since that dreadful day you died
Since that dreadful day I’ve cried
For my heart it almost broke in two
Looking skyward I can see 
the stars are shining down on me
Your smile in every starlit night
Assures me son that you’re alright
You’re now with souls who passed before 
Those souls were there at heaven’s door
To welcome you 
To heal your soul
To be with you forever more
So now when I look up above
Each night I blow a kiss my love
A kiss for you
A kiss for Dad
Remembering all the love we had 
Each night before I go to bed these words I sing inside my head
*Look at the stars, look at how they shine for you and everything you do…

John Watt April 24, 2020 at 10:56 AM Ann, beautiful writing! I believe that looking at the night sky has healing qualities. Knowing that our loved ones once looked at those same heavenly objects with us can bring a smile. Knowing that their souls have risen lifts our eyes heavenward. Knowing that many suffering souls are looking at those same stars at the same time we are, brings us comfort in community. The night may be cold, but the memories bring us warmth. Thank you for this. Blessings ~ John Ann Gilmour April 24, 2020 at 5:45 PM Bless you my friend and thank you so much for your beautiful words of comfort, they mean so much to me John ~ thank you. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
