This poem was inspired by a song with the same name by the artistes ~S.O.E
Everyday a STAR is born....
Everyday a destiny is fulfilled.
All stars in the Creators eyes,
All of us are truly "stars in His eyes".
We twinkle with His grace,
We twinkle with the gifts and talents He has endowed us with.
Each of us endowed with something really special,
Each of us so UNIQUE and wonderful in our own way....
No two were ever created the same,
Not brothers, nor identical twins, not even them!!!
We may be alike but NEVER the same,
Similar but certainly not a copy.
Like father, like son, the world says;
but the word is "like", not "same".
And that's the beautiful paradox,
That no two stars are ever the same in the night sky...
They all twinkle, they all give light, but no two are the same.
Ask any astronomer if you don't believe me!!!
Of all the millions,
Perhaps even billions of stars in the firmament,
no two are ever the same.
So it is, and so it has ALWAYS been.
And so we are in the Creators eyes,
In the visions He has for our lives.
We were created uniquely and individually,
so beautifully too....
so beautifully too....
But in trying to CONFORM to the worlds ideals,
Our twinkle becomes enshrouded by the mist,
Then we truly loose ourselves...
Then our light no longer shines,
And we woefully tend towards the darkness.
That's when if we are lucky,
We start to seek and hopefully find our Creator...
That's when we return to our maker,
For the CORRECT operating instructions.
And when we apply them in our lives,
Wow, the result is an outstanding light!!!
We begin to glow gently, then as we warm up,
Getting comfortable with our instructions,
The flicker of light turns into a thousand light beams,
And we then become bright and shiny STARS...
Twinkling all night long, lighting the way for other travellers,
As they too seek and find their way...
We become the stars that were ordained to from the beginning,
We were ALWAYS stars to Him, always stars to our dear Creator.
But now the whole world clearly sees the star quality,
The whole world now looks on in awe and wonder,
At that bright, shiny, twinkling star,
Wondering where it had been all the while,
Not knowing, not realising that the star was there the whole time,
They just didn't, just couldn't recognise STAR quality.
But the Father always did,
The Creator KNEW His wonderful creations all the time,
We were always beautiful twinkly stars in His eyes,
He was just watching and waiting for us to emerge.
So the next time you watch "stars in their eyes" on the TV,
Take a good look around, all around you are stars in the "waiting".
And all it will take for their stars to start twinkling,
Is the discovery of God and self!!!
And since there are several billion people on earth,
With quite a few more being born everyday,
Certainly a star "IS" born every day,
SEVERAL stars are certainly born each and every day,
You are one of them, and so am I too.
And for that I will forever praise the Lord, Amen...
Hallelujah
