Eternal Stars

by adewpearl



One hundred years ago this night
the summer stars upon you smiled
and filled you with their lambent light,
your parents' joy, their newborn child.

Those selfsame stars that lit your sky
still greet each newborn babe as I
seek sparkling gems in heavens clear
to wish, like them, you still were here.





Recognized


One year ago today I posted my first poem on Fanstory, Summer Skies. One hundred years ago today, my mother was born. She died a few months before she lived to see half those hundred years, and for the past fifty years I have missed her each and every day. I wanted to commemorate her birthday and the first anniversary of my joining this community, and so I used the summer skies theme to write this new poem, dedicated to her.
