Perhaps they are not stars

Perhaps they are not stars

but rather openings in Heaven

where the love of our lost ones shines down

to let us know they are happy

~~~~~~~~~

Just before dawn, I sat under the glorious star-filled sky over the Sea of Cortez on the coast of Mexico and watched the Geminid meteor showers last week.

I knew that those dancing stars were our loved ones letting me know that they are always with us.

with love to all my Gold Star Family friends
