By Charles Robert Lindholm
I Will Never Be A Star
A Celestial Body
In The Midnight Sky
Sending Out
Rays Of Light
Across The Vast
Universe
Nor Shall I Ever
Be A Star
On Earth
For That Is
Not The Goal
I Seek Or Desire
I Have A Small
And Humble Dream
Of Being Just One
Small, Tiny Flame
Burning In The Darkness
From The Candle That
Is Me
And Sharing
Love, Light, Warmth
And A Happiness
That Soothes
Your Soul
And Touches
Your Heart
With The Words
I Have Written,
Words That Were
A Gift To Me
To Share With You
As A Flickering Light
In The Darkness
To Bring You Joy
And A Smile
On Your Journey
Through Life
I Shall Never
Be A Star,
But A Small Candle
With A Flickering Light
Burning In The Night
With The Little Words
I Write
Is Enough
For Me
