Notes About The Poem

A Falling Star

There is a sparkle in her voice Never fades – it is kindness Inspiration, hope and joy The music beneath the praise There is a twinkle in her eyes Never dying – always surviving The doubt, the dread, the tears All those demons who reveal regret There is a glimmer in her smile Never frowning – it is alive Promising those who seek insight They will be blessed by her radiance There is a dance in her step Never restraint – always delighting In her wisdom, her faith, her joy The wonder of a heart, overflowing There is a warmth in her spirit Never skeptical – always believing In her faith, there is such grace Brilliant, aflame, burning with thanks There is light in her sweet spirit Never worried – it is lithe, lively Powerful, courageous, strong and wise Always urging the heart to try There is a brilliance in her affection Never cruel – always compassionate Sympathetic and understanding Breaking through sorrow to gladness There is a star that never goes out Never dark – it shines through her character She is a friend, a light – a burning flame Echoing pleasure that stirs embers of appreciation She is the one who reminds my heart As I go through life, collecting all the stars… There is no brighter star in the sky, I’m humbled by her sincerity and love… So beautiful it must have fallen from above July 21, 2022
