In days of old when ships so bold Sailed the tumultuous seas The Northern Star would shine in nights so cold And put their minds at ease Great Polaris, the Northern Star Guided their ships safely home Shining like a diamond to near and far Making them not alone So my love, when my heart is tossed On life's tumultuous sea Be my Northern Star when my heart is lost Guiding it back to thee --------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, this is a beautiful piece. A guiding light is what we all need at one point or another. I loved this one, one of my favorite! "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |

So my love, when my heart is tossed On life's tumultuous sea Be my Northern Star when my heart is lost Guiding it back to thee ..... Well we have something called a GPS these days, damn expensive considering that the Pole Star is for free... but GPS works swell... *grinning like a maniac here* or a sick joke... Well, let me capture the moment...you wish a dear heart to glow when you feel lost and in that glow you want to fall in love again to further get lost.... Nice work, sven, and I am not kidding... regards, sudhir. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee, Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; - John Donne |

Sven, I loved this one! It shined right up there with the stars in heaven. Romantically perfect my friend! Take care Amy P.S. I really liked the comparison and how you weaved it together. "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |
