The Only Star For Me

Darling, please tell me you remember
the night we first spent beneath fall’s moon.
Although daylight lingered, there soon
shone the star of our first September!

It twinkled in the sky prettily
as if it smiled down on us that night.
Old and gray now are we. That’s all right,
for you're still the only star for me.

Thoughtful and evocative writing Hit upon; my awareness like lightning' Age making our days more dim The years concur so lined with sin' Yet the stars that have shone Still hold out in memory strong
