A lonely star, <br />in the inky black water. <br />I reach to take it but it runs from my hand. <br />Grandma’s star is bright even in this strange land. <br />While I wait for the winter, the moon only grows hotter, <br />and as the wind ripples, I sit by the shore, <br />thinking about home and friends long ago. <br />Grasping at the sand, it slips through my hands as flour, <br />I sing a soft sea song I learned from her, <br />as if maybe she were here. <br /> <br />Goodnight Grandma Nancy, <br />be safe on your journey afar. <br />The straight and narrow was the path that you chose, <br />May you make it to Heaven unharmed. <br />Goodnight my Grandma Nancy. <br /> <br />To my grandma and our special star<br /><br />>Starr Williams
