On A Star

by DAIRINE BENNETT

Amidst a constellation
Your name lies on a star.
Unmissable by all,
Illuminating from afar –
In your name, through this light,
There is a dream for better days,
Both strength and promise
are reflecting in your rays –
You are shining for us all,
Brightening our simple smiles,
Illuminating passion
We’ve not seen in such long whiles –
You are radiating change
Lighting hearts from within –
Kindling kind fires
Where no flame has ever been.

Yes, amidst a constellation
Your name lies on a star.
Unmissable by all,
Illuminating from afar –
And if this star should e’er burn out,
Should you find your dream decays,
Know that you, your beams are brighter –
You will shine in other ways.
