Notes About The Poem

Stars Shine Bright

Stars Shine Bright

In the heavens above, 
I see your face. 
It is the face of grace, 
holding me close, 
so I do not lose my place, 
standing in the shadow... 
of the lost. 

Every day I remember, 
one more memory that I almost forgot. 
That is a good thing. 
It is you, 
that helps me, 
tend the garden, 
keep the house, 
and move through the day, 
as if all is well. 

I make the bread in the morning. 
I let it rise, in worship to you. 
Then... 
I bake it,
in the late afternoon. 
It feeds us. 
Some for my family, 
some for the church, 
some for the poor, 
and all I can spare... 
for the needy. 

We bow our heads at night. 
My man and I, 
we pray. 
It is a good day, 
when at the end... 
there is peace, 
and lights, 
stars, 
put there by the King.
