The wind has roared for days,

The rain has endlessly fallen,

The night sky coated with ash,

As the stars have been in hiding,

But tonight the wind has stopped,

And the sky has cleared for the stars,

For the tenth year since you left,

They smile upon me,

You alone are the only thing capable of lighting the flame of hope within me,

You alone . . .

You will never be alone.

“The shining star forever in our hearts.”

Sometimes it is not the writing that is the hardest part, it is reading it back to yourself.

Ten years . . .
