God's stars

This is dedicated to my surrogate grandma, who passed away this morning...A briliant light went out today, and you will forever be loved and missed... RIP Grandma J.

Today my heart fell,
It stammered and sobbed,
it craved the tangible,
transmitting requests to my minds eye,
Commanding it to sort through all the memories,
I had.
Suddenly liquid began to slide down my cheek,
In thin streams.
I set my phone down and grabbed the steering wheel,
But only after I dial a familiar number.
When she answered, I proceeded with sympathetic caution.
her denial was apparent,
So i offer my sympathies, and tell her i was there for her.
There was nothing more I could do but pray for The ones who lost their familial glue.
I then phoned the other two To offer a semblance of comfort.
Suddenly I am transported back as my thirteen year old self,
grieving my grandmothers passing,
I was numb and haunted with mixed emotions,
Tonight I stepped outside,
ready to curse at the moon,
Instead, I gasped in wonderment as I looked to the sky,
Overhead the stars were so luminous as though the celestial heavens were opening wide.
A shooting star passed my vision, and a bright star appeared from the darkest spot.
It shone brighter than any other star,
I know it was her,
Watching over her kin,
"Calm Down Becky!" she would say,
and I would.
My very spirit livened at this thought,
And in the sky she will remain,
Immortal for all to bask
in her lovely sparkle.
