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… Written 21st February 2020 Contest Famous Poetic Lines 3 – Love Songs Poetry Contest Sponsor Silent One 2nd Place Last line of this poem *’Look at the stars, look at how they shine for you and everything you do’ was taken from the Cold Play song Yellow Contest Strand Select Y Sponsor Brian Strand N/A

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
