Why I look Up In The Sky

A Poem For a Beloved Family Friend

106
Why I look Up In The Sky
Mary Mara

Sometimes the best people in our lives leave us. But sometimes it’s for the better. Whether it be for us, or for them. Being able to find something that makes you think of them is healthy, even just to say hi. Because letting go to someone you love is just too hard. This poem is for my friend Monica, I’ll never forget you and your beautiful soul.

Sometimes we look up in the sky

But for what reason?

Are we looking for birds? A plane?

Maybe something we aren’t aware of

Sometimes we have no reason

But I know the reason why I look up in the sky

It’s so much more than a random occurrence

Or to just see a thing

I look up in the sky

To see my friend because I miss her,

I look up in the sky

To smile at her,

I know the reason I look up in the sky

Is to make her day, and say

“Hey, I see you, you beautiful woman”

Because I know my friend is up there

Having the time of her life

Just like she would with me

I look up in the sky

Because I know she isn’t in pain anymore

And that’s a relief

I look up in the sky and I laugh

Because I know she would have loved that

My snort would make her snort

And the fun would never end

I look up in the sky

To show her that I still love her

And always will

I will never forget you,

I love you

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
