I came to you not knowing
there was more to this life
than just surviving it.

The Stars
Do you also look up
at the stars, dear friend,
and wonder?
—–
What can we do
but live
and make what short time
we have
lasting and bright.
—–
Maybe the stars look down on us
and wonder, too.
Poem by Jessica Grace Sparks
Woman
Like my mother before me,
I was made to create.
And only I decide
What kind of beauty
I will imagine.
Poem by Jessica Grace Sparks
A Beautiful Life
Do not judge
or compare your hurts,
your years, and your joys
to another’s.
You have created
a beautiful life—
own it.
Poem by Jessica Grace Sparks
Goodnight
It’s the nights when you leave
too soon—
before my body aches
and I feel sleep overcome me—
that I am surrounded by the reality
of having to exist without you.
Poem by Jessica Grace Sparks
somewhere between
Somewhere between
good morning and goodnight,
I found you.
And somehow,
even though you had
a future already imagined,
you wanted to create one with me.
I think we must have looked
at the night sky,
and seen the same stars.
