She watched the stars
Dance through the sky
While the crickets chirped
A sweet lullaby
As she rested her head
Upon his chest
And listened to the sound
Of his soothing breath
He brushed his fingers
Against her face
A gentle kiss
On her forehead he placed
Deeper and deeper
She began to fall
Forever ensnared
By love’s beckoning call
From forehead to nose to mouth
The kiss went
Each one a reminder
Of time well spent
Trying to savor
The time they had left
They gave their all
They gave their best
She watched the stars
Dance through the sky
While the crickets chirped
A sweet lullaby
She closed her eyes
And wished to keep
All their moments
In her eternal sleep
