'Shooting Star' a poem



 

SHOOTING STAR


I  SAW A SHOOTING BLAZE OF LIGHT

ON A RARE & COLD DECEMBER NIGHT

AS SNOWFLAKES FILLED THE COLD NIGHT AIR

IN AWE I STOOD & STOPPED TO STARE 

 IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL NIGHT ~
  WHEN I SAW THAT BLAZE OF LIGHT

 ‘TWAS REALLY A SHOOTING STAR

 FROM THE HEAVENS AFAR

  OH STAR, BIILLIANT & BRIGHT

ALL BECAME SO RIGHT

 IN MOMENTS SUBLIME ~ IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME 

WE  CATCH A GLIMPSE OF LIGHT IN THE NIGHT

FAR UP SO HIGH  ON A CLEAR NIGHT SKY

   WHAT COULD COMPARE TO A FULL  MOON’S GLOW

 TO SPARKLING, GLITTERING FRESH FALLEN SNOW

A SHOOTING STAR SO RARE ~

 MY MIND WAS REELING WITH A MYSTICAL FEELING

 WE ARE IN A UNIVERSE SO GRAND

CAN THE WHOLE WORLD SEE ~ OR JUST ME 

I BELIEVE THAT FALLING STAR WAS MEANT FOR ME

 MY HEART WARMED AT THE SIGHT

I BELIEVE IT WAS ‘A SIGN ON THAT SPECIAL NIGHT

SHOOTING SHIMMERING STAR

BROUGHT A BLAZE OF BRIGHT LIGHT

THIS WAS SIMPLY A SIGN THAT I WAS NOT ALONE ~

I SEE ~ MY DAD IS ALWAYS WITH ME
  
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE A CARE

MY DAD HAS JOINED THE HEAVENLY CROWD OF ANGELS

THEY SEND SIGNS FROM ABOVE PROCLAIMING THEIR LOVE

I KNEW IT WAS A SIGN JUST THEN

IN THAT SPECIAL MOMENT IN TIME

  THAT CERTAIN SHOOTING STAR WAS MEANT FOR ME ~

A VERY SPECIAL MEMORY

  Persian Salad Olivieh HISTORY ~  This salad was invented by a French Chef, M. Olivier. He served it in Moscow around 1860. Variations, sometimes called “Salade Olivier” or ”Russian Salad” abound worldwide. Persians love to make this salad with plenty of mayo & they also spread the top of the salad with mayo & veggies ~ & even fresh flowers for adornment.   Salad olivieh on slices of french baguettes can be addicting .  This  Salad Olivieh is slightly different than the traditional one. While all the ingredients are the same, this recipe cuts down the prep time considerably.   Ingredients: 3 medium large potatoes, cooked 3 eggs, hard boiled 2 cups shredded chicken 2 cups frozen peas and carrots ( optional ) 19 oz can of Persian pickles / or Dill pickels of your choice Dressing 2 cups mayonnaise 1/4 cup fresh lime or lemon juice 1/8 cup olive oil salt to t...
