you were, who you are


Repost...I forgot this one. It was written after my 40th high school reunion. Just wanted to save it on this blog.

We are but dawning stars
Shining brightly in the morn
Fading behind the sun and clouds
Awaiting a new day reborn

The morning star shines brightly
before the days awaken
Soon weathered by sun, hidden by clouds
A hopeful light forsaken

A fight to keep itself burning
not knowing how to win
To shine brightly as it once did
Before the days begin

I see the faces weathered
Oh!, how could it be?
When seeing eyes that shine so brightly
Is my reality

The mind's eye tells the truth
Seeing yourself as you were
Don't be fooled by sun and clouds
That YOU were never there

The morning star's, the constant
Everything changes, yet stays the same
No up and downs can eliminate YOU
In life's chute's and ladder's game

Behind the eyes, I see life's wonder
A constant shining star
No dimming light will ever change
You were, who you are
