For Jack Seredyniecki

Stargazer, stargazer Bearer of bouquets Four of stardust Four the number of times you fussed Hoping to see cream of the crop. Pink, yellow, white, and orange stargazer lilies smiled Your dimpled wife blushed Step mom, and your auntie-in-law, hushed Birth mother in her element rocked You were humbled Prince of Wales with grandmother You in garden of your mind, born to win Stood star gazing. The smell of lavender breeze floated in Absolute joy soothe our soul, We gathered not far from heaven's gate Stargazer, you scouted shimmering colors Shimmying still. *
