Stars bring with them certain memories

She was the brightest of them all

Standing out from everyone else

Wherever she went, same result

So way down the road

Two lives merged, making two more

Others found his mate

Youngest, sturdy, strong and smart

Ready to find his own way

And the remaining half fully cognizant

Of the blessedness he has had

Again, the rhythm of a family plays out

So slowly, over decades

Filled with laughter, some tears, some doubt

But everything it did appears logical

If you just suspend disbelief.

How could a chance meeting

Turn to a life of value?

How does it happen, exactly,

And to whom?

Must you be born under a lucky star?

Or be the heir to a golden heart?

Perhaps just another human

Seeking a fresh start

Or a convert from the salt flats of divorce

Or a refugee from meaningless escorts

Or nothing of the sort,

But still human & reaching out for love

No mystery girl

You were a lovely rose

You walked like an angel

Touching Earth for the first time.
