About Heaven

A few years ago, I became very ill. I had 2 very young little girls and feared they would not remember me if the worst happened. I started writing a journal to them, all about myself. With everything I loved, from movies to my favourite perfume. But I wanted them to know, that if the worst did happen. That I would always be there for them and wanted to give them a feeling of me always being there with them. I wrote this poem in a child-like way and tried not to make it sad, but more like a nursery rhyme.

If this is true. I once was told, you go there when you die.
I want the little stars at night, to be peep holes in the sky.

This means that those already there, are looking down on us.
And when we make our wishes, we’re telling those we love.

So when I die, I want to look; upon the world each night.
And when you wish upon a star, I’ll be the brightest light.

    That’s wonderful, and a wonderful thought! I hope you’re out of harms way now, and your journals will become a memoir for your kids instead.

    Absolutely fine now :-) I love writing little things for my kids, like what my fav perfume is or my fav film or song. You just never know…also its great for me to look back on in years to come and see how much my likes have changed.
