Night sky’s diamonds,
shining brightly,
merely home fires
burning, of souls passed

Do they look down?
do they see us?
are they watching?

I feel them sometimes
and remember a smile
or a word, or a hug,
and I wish they were
here again

Oh night sky, stars so bright
light years away from me
send a message deep in the night
“twinkle” for loved ones I can no longer see
