A Star For Mary

If there were a star that I could buy
a twinkling star up in the sky,
there's but one star so very high
shining brightly, do or die

To the Holy City, it shows the way
the brightest star, it is still this day,
I wish I might, I wish I may
to own this star to give away

I'd place it in sweet Marys hand
and wish us to the promised land,
to the very spot, where it all began
the Heavenly birth, of the Son of Man

David, is the name of the star
it can be seen from away,afar
we could travel there, no-one shall bar
to pray beneath, that Holy star

But, I don't have to buy that star you see
because David's there for her and me,
for with our Lord we'll always be
the gift, a star for her from me.


This is for Linda Maries ( Sweethearts) contest

Hey old man, I have not heard from you in a while... In poetry or on the phone.... Although I have yet to meet Mary in person you have given me and everyone else who reads this insight into the kind of love the two of you share... I certainly hope you can maintain it for the remainder of your lives.... I am so glad to hear that you have finally captured your star..... Until next time pops.....:JP]
