Super-stars

For today’s prompt, day 26,write a shine poem. 

People can shine. Shoes can shine. You can shine a light on someone or something. 

The sun shines; the moon reflects that shine; and so on. 

Let’s shine through our poems today.

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens,
and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
Daniel 12:3

To they who learn to tame the tongue

When unwise words would spew

Are like the warming rays of sun

After winter is through

To they who walk where second miles

Are not witnessed or praised

Are like a seraphim of smiles

On trails by angels blazed

To they who shine like stars and yet

Appear quite meek and plain

To bolder masses who reject

Or treat God with disdain

To they who do not live to please

The gods enthroned within

But serve with gentle sympathies

Their fellow-next-of-kin

To they who give Self as a gift

Lord, bless each one who walks

And lifts thy Light where vessels drift

Too closely to the rocks
