A Shining Star

"a shining star" a shining star you shall always be a jewel in the cosmos that I see like the snow that glistens white like the moon that shines bright you bring out the best in me when you stand before the ocean blue feel a gentle embrace intended just for you when you see a pearl or shell in the sand know it is me taking you by the hand know your heart and soul will renew a grand piano or a single guitar a source of strength from afar with words that I have none to give with hope and love may light live a shining star is what you are SkyWatcher - 04-09-17

Oh My Goodness Lisa, since I'm still new navigating around this website, I totally missed seeing the POTW you received last week on this gem of a poem - just like the pearl you see on the shore. Congrats for a brilliant poem and win.

Morning Maria. Shake hands. I'm still learning also. It took me the longest time to send a message (lol) but true. Then somehow I learned of the POTD and then I learned of various contest and most recently the POTW. I know there is more out there (another lol) but I'll find it someday. Thank you for seeing this entry again and for leaving me your words. I truly appreciate the time and the generosity. Have a wonderful morning and I will see you on your page. PS. thank you for incorporating the beach within your words. What a gift.

Lisa,, shalom-shalom! PS announced that the site & writers/readers cannot bear to wait 2-3 days for more of your kind words and spontaneous love for humanity. Come see us, soon. Blessings, especially this Passion Week. (My aunt needs prayer)AD

Lisa Ricci
Date: 4/11/2017 10:37:00 AM

You are a blessing Anil. A true man of substance. Thank you. Yes, I will continue to say a prayer that God guides her and her soul at this time and process. I thank you for all your continued support and generosity. I hope I am deserving of it Anil. Shalom to you also.

Anil Deo

Making sure I am NOT forgetting to select 7, when I have said so. Newbies can slip up ... now I am sure this poem got the highest PS allows. Shalom, shalom! (Pray for my aunt who lives abroad ... in her 80s, and may not last the month!)

Lisa Ricci
Date: 4/11/2017 5:45:00 AM

Good Morning Anil. Yes, I will say a prayer for your failing aunt. Consider that done. May God be with her during this process. And yes, oh the features and selections we must learn. I'm still learning my way. Thank you so much Anil for all your support and generosity. Shalom back to you and your family during this time. PS. Never worry about me and with grading. Stars and points don't mean much for me myself. However, I do respect it for others who achieve success and recognition. I like to quietly stay in the background. Honestly.

Good Morning White Wolf. So nice to see you. Thank you for your beautiful and generous review. I am so honored and speechless of your intake and commentary of the rhyme. Words can not express my appreciation for that. I enjoy rhyme in entries of others but not mine somehow. I can't explain it but I'm trying to get better and practice. Have a wonderful day and thank you once again.

A beautiful and touching poem my friend. This one shines like the stars at night. It had me singing Earth, Wind and Fire's "Shining Star". "You're a shining star, no matter who you are. Shining bright to see, what you can truly be" I loved your poem Lisa.

Lisa Ricci
