"Pick one image to write about."
I had
high hopes for us–
happy marriage and children.
Hollywood will adore you, dear,
my loss.
Should you
tire of stardom
you will find stars await
silvering my eyes with love dear,
your gain.

I look at this as a mirror poem, as when I matched up the lines in each poem, they meshed so well. Nice job, Sara. I’m sure he would be happy to know she waits for him.
