This poem I wrote after my grandmother had passed away when I was 10. The night after my grandmother’s funeral I was looking up at the sky and noticed but one bright star shining down through my window.

Oh little star of mine

You shine so bright

In the starry night

From afar and down below

You still shine

That is how I know

That, that is where you are

From yonder and afar

That is how I know

Oh little star of mine

That I wish upon every night

And as I lay I glare into the dimness light

Of your bright starry glow

I think of the good times

And the bad times

How I was

And the way I was

It was rough

And it was tough

But the only thing I knew

Was that I made it through

So I look upon you now to let you know

I have to let you go

I say this with sadness

And gladness

Because I have made it through

The rough times

And the tough times

From the strength given from you to me

And should I ever look upon you again

For any reason at all

I know you’ll make me think and recall

The rough times

And the tough times

Not to make me sad

But to make me glad

That I had you

Oh little star of mine

So far up where you are

Oh little star of mine
