Thank you SJ and Hanki...I assume you both were talking about Karen's poems
Anyway, I guess I can add my next one up here...ttyl!
This Sky is OursI went outside tonight.
I laid on my hammock and stared at the sky.
I saw your favorite constellation and started to think.
This sky is ours. This sky is ours.
You’re so far away, but still I love you.
I look at each star carefully,
I name each one with a reason for loving you.
It seems I’m running out of stars.
This sky is ours. This sky is ours.
I remember you saying you’d teach me.
“There’s so much to learn,” you said.
Maybe you’re looking at our sky now too.
I always hope you are.
This sky is ours. This sky is ours.
Every time I think about memories with you,
My heart seems to grow more.
I want the day when I can hold you in my arms.
I want to call you my own, in this lifetime and each one after that.
This sky is ours. This sky is ours.
It’s now 2a.m. and I’m sure you are not awake.
But I still hope you are.
I want you to be awake, so you can see what I do.
I just looked up and saw a flashing light.
I think it was a shooting star.
I wished for you.
Always remember,
this sky is ours. This sky is ours.
Like a child, I still believe in magic.
I believe that you will come to me when the time is right.
I’m still staring at the sky. I am praying for another shooting star.
I closed my eyes for an instant, just an instant.
Or so I thought.
I blink my eyes clear, and look to my right.
“My God, you’re really here!”
It wasn’t a dream this time.
You held my hand.
And we wished together.
I guess this time you were awake at 2 a.m.
I guess this time you were with me.
You leaned close to my ear.
You whispered to me the words we whispered to the stars.
“This sky is ours, darling. This sky is ours.”
I love you baby girl *grins* I LOVE MY KARE-BEAR
