There Is a Star With My Name On It

Each night after dark I gaze up above Seeing two dazzling stars almost bursting with love These two iridescent exquisite cut diamonds Their kaleidoscopic incandescence truly enlightens Two glistening precious jewels twinkle in the sky Two names shining brightly and as I wonder why Both were taken far too soon Both were loved up to the moon My dearest darling ~ his soul went first I truly thought my heart would burst So deep in grief my soul immersed Then my precious boy ~ my only one So sudden So unexpected So wrong to go before his mum They took a part of my grieving heart Leaving such pain and sadness At times I am feeling so alone As I walk through my door to an empty home Now seeing two stars way up high Lighting up the dark night sky I see their names I feel their smiles So far away ~ So many miles There is a star with my name on it For when my soul is beckoned home My name emblazoned from afar Will gently guide me to my star At home at last in a starlit sky My soul so full of joyous joy for ‘tis me * my darling * and my precious boy * Written 8th November 2020 Contest: There is a star with my name on it Sponsor: Silent One 2nd PLACE
