Anniversary Poem

On the anniversary of his wife's death he looks to the heavens for his wife's face hoping to feel her sweet embrace.

Stars At Night

© Rebecca Sexton

Beautiful stars in the night
Beautiful stars shining bright
Wondering what is beyond that life
Wondering if it’s my lost loved wife

I never realized how much I loved her
But I know she loved me, this I’m sure.
To this day I remember her embrace
Through the stars I can see her face

Though the fall colors look so fine
The fall also brings October nine
On that day I miss her so
She was my best friend, nowhere near my foe

I thought this day couldn’t get worse
The fall must be the family curse
With the beautiful autumn sky
I never thought it would be the day I too would die

Beautiful stars in the night
Beautiful stars shining bright
Wondering what is beyond the sky
Maybe it’s just the family’s eye
