Purple Walrus Press Writer's Alley: A Single Shining Star By Kathleen Deview.

                                                               
A single star shining in the blackest night,
Twinkling to the sky’s delight.
I wish I may, I wish I might, have the dream I wish tonight.
I wish for no more hate and despair,
For awareness to those that don’t seem to care,
For love of all humans, regardless of status or race,
To take care of each other
We can all love this place.
This place, our Earth, with beauty so divine,
For acceptance of varied religions and beliefs of all kind.
For through acceptance of others we can live in peace,
Sharing the stars together.
I have no fear as the shining star guides me through the night,
It reminds me of my status in time,
How much of our lives that truly shine.
Yes, I have no fear during my darkest night,
As I receive comfort from the stars delight.
I am calm and content as the shining star continues to stare,
I feel it beckons me as it radiates the sky at night,
My deepest thoughts and fears no longer in sight.
