Star of wonder and morning light
Where might thy be upon the night
Wilt thee shine ever bright for me
Wilt thy glow, be of mine, to be.

Star of Eve upon darkest night
Let thee come, burn most bright
Cast thy beam into mine eyes
Star of Eve, doth bring sighs

Star of Love, Star of life
Leave my soul within thy own
Star of Joy and taker of strife
Take mine heart, not be lone.

Let thy brilliance comfort all
Let thy gleam shine till death
Give this man of heart once small
One last chance, one last breath.

Come to me before the morn
Comfort this heart once torn

Magnus...How often we search for love in the stars, in the Moon.  There's just something about them that reflects the ultimate in love.  ***Ivy Rose

An extremely romantic write and I do believe you met this challenge more than well.

We should spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end and more on when it's going to start!
