I sat under the dark sky tonight,
And admired all of the beautiful stars...
I thought of all of those I've loved;
The leading lights within my heart.
The brightest of the beauties before me,
Shined for the ones that said goodbye...
The love they had, still lives on each day,
And is visible each night.
The cool breeze overcame me,
As it engulfed me in its all...
Welcoming me with its fresh arms,
As if it was okay to fall.
I felt my world overwhelm me,
Reminding me I'm not alone...
I must move on, forgive the past,
Continue in my growing home.
Sometimes I feel abandoned,
Questioning God, "Why'd they go?"
Why'd I lose those friends and family,
As they left me down below?
How do I face the changes ahead,
Without concentrating on the strife?
How do I carry on, maintain my breaths,
Without focusing on the hard times of life?
As I was ready to lower my gaze,
To give into the pain within my heart...
Something in that mysterious sky fell;
A saddened, lonely star.
Tears began to fall down my face,
As I imagined those above...
How can I focus on the pain?
When those stars are those I've lost, and loved.
I'd only be giving in without a struggle,
Ignoring my hidden strength to fight...
Sometimes all I need is a reminder,
Of my loved ones in the sky.
