The Brightest Star In The Sky

Poems About Loss of Loved Ones
When Mum died last year, we explained to my grandson (Reece, 3 years old) that his Nana had gone to be a star in the sky. On the eve of her funeral there was a massive, really bright star above my house and I'd pointed it out to my grandson and told him "that's Nana's star, the brightest star in the sky. Now all of Mum's great grandkids and grandkids refer to Mum as the brightest star in the sky. My daughter even had it tattoo'd on her hip with small stars and one larger star around the words and she named a star after Mum too. As I say, my grandson was only 3 years old, but loved his Nana and she adored him. We also scattered her ashes on a beach and Reece calls it "Nana's beach". Here goes...
At night I watch you twinkling Twinkling from the sky above It looks like you are happy And sending me your love
And on the special days We go to Nana's beach It's a special place Where you're within my reach
At night when the moon is out And the sky is clear I can see my Nana shining Saying "Goodnight dear"
I know that star's my Nana And if you ask me why I'll point her out and tell you She's the "Brightest Star In the Sky"
My Mum died on 25th July 2009. As I am the youngest girl of 8 children, she was worried about me and how I'd deal with her death. I didn't deal with it very well until I found a poem in with her insurance documents. It was a well known poem called "Miss me but let me go" (By Betty Miller) and it helped me mentally. This poem I wrote was a kind of reply to the one she left.
I'll always miss you but I've let you go, In my broken heart I'll always keep you so, We shared a special night before you died, A night that helped me dry the tears I've cried, You've healed me from your cloud above, I can't see you now but I'll always feel your love, The hardest thing was "never ever", But the memories I have will last forever, So sleep wee mammy, rest in peace, Your baby girl is more at ease.
