There Is a Star With My Name On It

When I am reveling in love of family Toasting virtues of revered friendships Savoring freedoms that let me be Luxuriating on sandy white beaches Endowed with means to live carefree I wonder if my life is laden in dreams; When sadness reigns face of anguish Bearing glumness of stygian grief, In harmony of the galaxy solace I feel Purging clouds of bleak melancholy As moonlit gleam rescues my evening I wonder if my life is laden in dreams; When new day glints wondrous valleys As I bask in hues of resplendent prairies Admiring nature’s ebullient beauty-- Golden sun beams on tenor of streams Rushing to rivers and mighty blue seas I wonder if my life is laden in dreams; When I rejoice in tranquility of music Strumming rhythms of euphoric lyrics Cherishing chorus of happy memories Turning setbacks into success stories Comforting soul in misery of defeats I wonder if my life is laden in dreams; Or is this divinity’s sacred blessing Evincing revelation of stellar deity: There is a star with my name on it.
