Today I Will Write About Stars

Today I will write about stars- Not the usual Compressed galactic-gleams, Not the speckling In deep sky seen, Tracked and charted By singular-minded, bright-eyed teams- No-I will speak of Real Stars, Day and night stars- Eternal Stars Never growing dim, Burning brightly From star-dust within- Not a glow in cold darkness Between starlight above But Mysterious Light Deeper gazers call Love- Stars that blink To illumine the poor, Have learned by faith To persist and endure- Stars who dry The damp Blanket the cold, These warm glows Surrounding All of God's Fold- Never dimming- (A mission to give) Preaching less- Word what they live- Warring on crime Disease and despair Never for profit Simply to care, Sacrifices not subject For peddlers dealing in fame- But God's Asterisk, His Radiance, Lighting each name- This Light is always there- When one thinks less of taking And more, to share- Same Light that shown From out the tomb, Giving earth a choice Between Light and dark gloom- Light seen brightly In a new mother's eyes, Amazed and surprised That something so radiant Could come from within, Not starlight of sky, but Pure Light, Where all lights begin

Joe, you are indeed a sensitive thinking man, so being on the dark side of the political moon makes no sense.
