(This is my submission to the Challenge. I have used Daniel 12:2-3 as the Basis of this brief poem)

Written in the Stars
For all Eternity,
Is the Brightness of the Saved
When from this world, we're freed.

In the Resurrection Day
When emerge the Lost and Saved,
The Lost will go in eternal shame
The Saved in Bright Light are bathed.

Thus written in the Stars are they
Those Wise ones, Mankind's best
Who helped turn many to Righteousness
Shinning as Stars fore'er Blest!

"Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw-

The light certainly shines through you, David! Guess I missed what the challenge was, but I'm sure glad you didn't. Thank you so much for this and all your other posts. I'm so privileged to taste the wisdom and beauty they emit.
