Be Receptive

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Do you know how loved you are?
Though heartbeats feel far away,
and dark nights outshine bright days.

There’s a light you cannot see,
once it burns it never flees.
Sadness whispers, “You’re alone”,
with connections firmly sewn.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
inner lies, can stretch too far.
Heavy weights are gifts of fear,
so perceptions seem unclear.

All the doubts that cloud blue skies,
is a trick behind hurt eyes.
Although most are unaware,
someone out there always cares.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
terminate imagined scars,
Breathe joy in, and let it stay,
till deep sorrows drift away.

Faith held through happier days.
still sparkle in countless ways.
True grace can not die, it sleeps,
love surrounds you, ever deep.

– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
