THE DISTANT STAR

A distant star its path pursued, Sweeping through the night,
Then light years later crossed my way, My vision caught its light.
Well, gone forever, one might say, Not so, is my reply,
Its flashing light still travels on, To light another's sky.

Likewise our lives upon the Earth, Can flash their special light
To cross the paths of future lives, With challenge dim or bright.
And show the future better ways, As ancient masters taught,
And flash an inflence in their time, No life is lived for naught.
