Valerie's Destiny

I see it when I look up every night Then I count the blinks, I'm not sure why It might be some kind of code Sent to me from long ago I can't make it out, but I still try I gave it the name Destiny Because that's what it means to me I bet it rests while I'm working Then comes alive when I'm looking Brilliant flashes of pure white, blink I made a wish just before sunrise This Heavenly gift for your surprise I know you will really love it Wrapped with a bow in blue velvet I can hardly wait to see your eyes Your birthday will come soon, Valerie Until that day, I'll just wait and see Your star from the vast cosmos Will make fantastic photos My first daughter, holding Destiny

There's such a wonderfully uplifting sense of love in this poem, Mitch. And Destiny is a super name for both your daughter and her star. A delightful read! Love, Carolyn

A very charmed poem, I just feel a bit sad to know you admire the stars that hold the love you have for your daughter. I may be wrong to think that. Is that who you await to see again. A very nice heart felt write. P.D.
