If I a Star

If I a Star Curtis Johnson As usual, the stars, way out there in the distant sky, will probably be out tonight. If it should become cloudy or foggy, they might become hidden from sight. Otherwise, they will appear and fulfill their God-given purpose, by sparkling beautifully and bright. If I were a star, just for you, I would shine and light up the night. If I were a star, I would come from afar, from way yonder in the vast galaxy, and not burn out, or even delay. If I were a star, I would beg you to look carefully, so you don’t lose sight, as I make my personal flight. If I were a star, I would be a lone star and hard to miss, but if you are not attentive, you just might. This lone star would appear just for a while, to shine its brightest on its given date. This lone star would be programmed just for you, and guaranteed to not be late. This lone star would arrive right at the scheduled time, just to smile and shine for the dearest friend of mine. No, I am not a star, but if I were, I would make history by arriving special delivery and shine just for you. Cj050608

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
