Fallen Star
In the heavens above on any given day
Countless stars are born to blaze the skies
Trillions speak their truth through verse and song
As they praise, inspire and light the path
Fallen star brings joy he twinkles and shines
Both Man and creature in wonderment gaze
In the middle of the winter of ‘78
Formed and fashioned in love by the Master’s hands
The young star set forth toward his destiny
‘cross millions of galaxies constellations far
Reaching earth’s galaxy along the Milky Way
To add brilliance and illuminate our world
This perilous journey he was called to make
Proved daunting too complex to accomplish alone
Distracted by forces beyond his strength
He strayed and fell as countless before
Anger and pride as companions he chose
Would retard his progress yet for a while
The Master keeping watch over his universe
Saw the young star unguided he stumbled he fell
God projected his will providing another way out
In wisdom with calm resolution he allowed him to fall
Through the fire refined like silver and gold
Preparation confirmed the journey to complete
There’s a new day coming just over the horizon
When Fallen star will arise fired and strong
In the interim all plans are made fool proof
Tools are honed cleaned and sharpened
For this journey a lifetime to make
Fallen star aims high to blaze the skies
For Jimmy M. with love--*
