The full white moon shone in the sky That cold autumnal night. She rose up high above the earth To break the dark with light. The moon has always lit the night So in dark we could see. Perhaps she knew to brighten Your path to eternity. There was no way a one could know That night would be your last That you would leave the world behind So quickly and so fast. For though you seemed so happy You were ready to let go Of the pain that weighed your soul down More than anyone could know. And though we did not know Just what you were going through The moon saw things we couldn't And she shone her light for you. 10-17-01 God bless America, my home sweet home. |

Oh this was a beautiful and emotional poem. It pains me when someone appears outwardly so well and happy, but like so much in life, there are things we'll never know. I really loved reading this Elizabeth, wonderfully expressed. |

The moon has shone/shown mercy to many of us...I remember running down a dark country pathway one night, so thankful for the moon, my only light. |

The moon shone and gave light to lead away from pain. This poem went deep into my heart and stayed there. It is a keeper for the message it carries and for its beauty in presentation. I love it. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

She rose up high above the earth To break the dark with light. The moon has always lit the night So in dark we could see. Perhaps she knew to brighten Your path to eternity. This is so beautifully written. Yet, it is so sad... I guess even though the loss should be mourned, this person is much happier to leave the pain behind... ^.^ |

Sounds like a peaceful retreat from a painful place. Would that we all could have our paths so lit. A lovely tribute. "Happy people have no history" - French Proverb |
