----- One of my favorite poems.

Meet Me In The Stars

by Geri Mooren

As I am saying good night at the end of the day,

And you are not here, but many miles away,

My heart is so empty and so lonely inside,

As I wipe away a tear I am trying to hide.

I close my eyes and try to go to sleep,

But with the sadness inside I begin to weep.

Suddenly I remember what you once said to me,

Just meet me in the stars, waiting for you I will be

.
When distance tends to keep us apart,

Remember I still hold you near in my heart.

When the night together, can't be ours,

Just close your eyes and meet me in the stars.

Meet me in the stars, I'll be waiting there for you.

With a bottle of wine and glasses for two.

Just close your eyes and there you will see,

Waiting in the stars, just for you I will be.

Remembering those words, I begin to smile,

And gently close my eyes, lessening the miles.

 I can see the stars, oh how beautifully arranged,

But you are not there, no hug to exchange.

I sit alone waiting, with hope in my heart,

No longer wanting to be kept apart.

Suddenly in the distance, a shadow appears,

A tear rolls down my face and the image is clear.

There is no question it is you that I see,

Waiting in the stars, just like you promised to me.

You hold out your hand as you become near,

And put it in mine saying, "I miss you, my dear. "

Suddenly there's gentle music, filled with romance,

You gently pull me close, we begin to dance.

Just meet me in the stars, that is where I will be.

A special place in the stars just for you and for me.
