                    Title:  Look to the Stars 
   One night Abraham Lincoln suggested to a young man that they take a walk along a country road.  Lincoln lifted his eyes to the heavens full of stars and said, "I never behold them that I don’t feel I am looking into the face of God.  A man might look down upon the

                    THE TALE OF THE STAR

A half step slower than yesterday
a little pain won’t go away
not quite as strong

a younger man has passed him by

He works so hard, he gives his all
but new stars rise while old stars fall
he was so bright, a brilliant light,
