A Shining Star. Poem by Ross Mabey

Poem - A Shining Star.

By - Ross Mabey.

I have seen so much of what life has to offer.
I have laughed and I have cried, at its joys and its pains.
The tears of laughter and sorrow have flowed.
I have fought many battles, sought fortune and fame.

At last I know that its part of life's plan, to teach,
About love, compassion, patience, truth, honor and strength.
To be grateful for the gifts, that life bestows on us,
To give love to others and life where we can.

Judge not too harshly, for one never knows what life has in store,
A king one day, a pauper the next, its all part of life's plan.
As we grow, we begin to know what life is trying to teaching us,
To be more of who and what we are, at last to become a shining star.
