See them twinkle in the skies <br />reflecting in my tear-filled eyes <br />This has been a happy day <br />yet sadness now comes out to play <br />With the moon and shining stars <br />planets Jupiter, Saturn and Mars <br /> <br />For with the night and setting sun <br />comes a time when I am one <br />alone and left to contemplate <br />a night alone without a mate <br />someone to love and someone to hold <br />Does this mean I am getting old? <br /> <br />Soon the sun will rise on high <br />the stars no longer in the sky <br />people laughing, children and play <br />greet me in a bright new day <br />Bring me reminders of a life once led <br />and I am grateful for the day ahead<br /><br />Janice M Pickett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/starry-skies-and-tear-filled-eyes/
