Constellation Poem by Timothy Lee Hollandsworth Jr.

Constellation

Rating: 5.0


Starry night like this
Always took her breath away
She would be so speechless
Innocent and full of play

She was so young and free
I'll never forget what she taught to me
I like to think she's one of those stars now
Looking and smiling down

Oh Constellation
Shine across the nation
With love and patience
Oh Constellation

Laughter used to fill my yard
Tears used to be of joy
I would hold her in my arms
And think how lovely

Born of flesh
Imprinted on soul
Those times were the best
I'll never let them go

Oh Constellation
Shine across the nation
With Love and Patience
Oh Constellation

My child
My little darling
It was such a little while
It's for you I sing

There is sadness in this poem, and a pain that is hinted at: death. But well expressed.

This is a beautiful piece to read. I dare say it has some poetic quality. A statement I rarely use in reference to this style. This is good stuff and I would recommend it to any reader. GW62
