Among the Stars and Moon
You told me so many stories
Tales of someday very soon
Your God would lift our mortal veil
And we would join the stars and moon
I paid no heed to your warnings
For I was innocent and young
I had so many dreams to live
Too many songs left yet unsung
Tonight the ring broke the silence
Told me your words had come to pass
That your God sent down his Angels
And they welcomed you home at last
Now, that age has crept upon me
Can’t help but think about it all
How, in my life, I seldom prayed
That’s if I ever prayed at all
If it’s not too late my brother
I’ll learn that celestial tune
So that we might dance together
Out there, among the stars and moon
Very pretty.

Jerry,
What a warm and beautiful poem. Thank you.
Yes, youth is a time when we normally don’t think much about death. Depending on what each person meets. Your poem about putting no heed to the warnings, you had so many songs yet unsung. Isn’t that the truth though.
Your last stanza is so soft and warm. Here comes acceptance of a new stage of life and knowing loss.

It’s always sad to lose someone we love. But, to think of them in that better place helps us let go.
