Shooting Stars

The waves of hatred and defeat Go crashing into the rocky shore With the sands of love and peace Before you leave you must teach The world what you have learned For when you rise angels by your sides You will take the worlds concerns What you teach whether it wisdom or beseech The knowledge you have earned Let it wisen you further Complete you with the gift You have given unto the world And when you fly Saying your last goodbyes Much the world has learned So take this poem to Consider or concern For soon you rise You have the choiceof just how far you get The angels cry With weepy eyes forever in your debt Choose wisely young one Before your light is out It flits and flickers some Unsure, much in doubt Take hold, control Your future is bright Leave your past behind Leave it out of sight Don't lie forgotten Forever unaware Of the time and its passing Please, your thoughts you must share Your light turned out Your time is up Your choice must be made In white you rise Your flight to the skies As the stars in the night fade The waves of hatred and defeat Go crashing into the rockey shores With the sands of love and peace As the stars in the night soar

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.
