If Some Stars
Have Extra Sparkle
by Florence Thuot
If some stars have extra sparkle
As you glance up to the sky,
You see our precious angels
That had to say goodbye.
We took them old and weakened,
They weren't wanted any more
Because they were a nuisance
At someone else's door.
Their hearts were terribly broken
When they were shoved away,
But Journey's End took them in
Until their dying day.
Some were here for many days,
Some for many years,
But all were loved with equality
And given equal tears.
Each day I see a certain spot;
Or hear a certain sound;
Or long for them to return to us
To have them still around.
Though our hearts are full of sadness,
There are happy memories too!
We wish we had more time with them
Our kisses were too few.
So with a tear in our eye,
And a smile in our heart,
We unselfishly say goodbye
We will always remember happy times
As we glance up to the sky.
With Love, Florence |
