The stars light up the night
and I humbly bow in silence
With gratitude and pleasure I think
of a day long ago
But no matter how dark it gets
their light beams throughout
the space that they were intended
for,
so, with wonderment
I stand idly by
as if I would change anything
even if I could.
But I know I can not
so inward I turn to the one who
has made them
and set them in order
and that makes it easier for me
to enjoy what I
truly don't understand
yet, respectfully give thanks.
You have been destined to shine
wherever you are and
I must give you the time and space
to do just that
As the stars fade and shine
So your days will come and go---
and you too will write upon the
heart strings
of one so special
But know and understand
that this is not
a poem or a responsibility that
I feel I must do
But an honor and a legacy that
will someday press
and urge you onward to a place
so long desired.....MOM
