The Star Named Simplicity

Oh could I buy a star! For my sweet (how bizarre!)
It would be so he could always see
An isolated spot of
Celestial ecstasy for him and me

Because of the noble essence of my love
I would name his star thus:
Simplicity

To capture his very nature
Of sublime felicity.




2nd place in Sweethearts' "Shining Star" contest.

That is the problem of my husband, there is so much to him, so many layers, so much intelligence and talent- I have to put it into simplistic form.

What a lovely thought, Amy. Just read Linda-Marie's poem about the star her boyfriend bought and named for her. I admire "simplicity" in a man; when someone is too complicated, it's hard to get close to them. Wishing you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn
