Watching Over Us

Look upward upon the night time sky,
Contemplate,
question,
 sometimes,
 even ask why???

Is it  that upon some nights,
 do stars seem to shine so-so bright???,
As you make your journey  to and fro’,
 wherever it is that you may go,
there is something we all should know.

They are our angels, 
Watching over us.

They serve as beacons,
Lights to guide our dreams,
Re-ignited hope with internal flames,
Re-cultivating
 washed out souls, 
lifting heads hung low,
fulfilling,
to unrealized dreams.

Some might question,
what happens to our spirits,
long after this life here,
look upward,
the answers are beaming,
gleaming,
 right there.

If you stop to wonder, or implore
what is is they do in the daytime,
when the brightest star, 
the sun shines
so bright,
most of the time,
they return, 
guarding,
protecting,
 watching over,
both,
 you and I !!!!!
