Why I Loved C D Poem Illuminations of Wonder and Warmth

Illuminations of Wonder and Warmth 
from the sky’s black velvet cloak  
points of light emanate                                                                        
drawing the wonder of all who see   

but are these sequin stars  
or tears in the fabric of heaven                                                                  
from which our lost loved ones look down                                               
smiling to let us know they are happy      

one special star                                                                                    
reveals a most welcome sight –                                                                   
the face of my husband     

after all these years, 
John remains ever loving                                                                       
ever watching over me  

view the night sky                                                                                  
are we seeing distant, fiery orbs of light                                                     
or do our hearts see something else                                                        

fear of the afterlife is replaced by warmth  
a desire to be among                                                                   
illuminated faces…                                                                               
those whose journeys have ended

I chose this "Trophy Winner" because it shows her warmth and love.
  
I looked upon a star this week from above.
     
It showed brighter than before.
                                      
It must be Carolyn shinning back from a heavenly shore.
  
With her journey now on earth ended.
                             
I wait to see her in her new home where she is independent.
             
One more angel now graces heaven's gates.
                    
No more tears just her husband waiting for many dates.
