The Only Star For Me

I gazed into the heavens in search of one that’s right to catch my eyes in promise of granting dreams that night. In Texas t’was the north star that beckoned me to speak of wishes nestled in the heart, the universe to seek. But from my porch the brightest star that shines in western sky, constant as the morning sun, caught my attention from on high. I sat and watched its twinkling grace, its promises to see. my diamond light of dreams desired, the only star for me. This is the one I’ve wished upon so often in the night, and in my soul, I truly hope, it's not a satellite. 11/9/2022 Your Favourite Rhyming Poem from the second half of 2022' Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Julia Ward Submitted 1/31/2023
