Well, lately Karen Carpenter’s version of “SING” popped into my head, so I had to go & find the You Tube version with the lyrics and post it here! I have a suspicion that I suddenly thought of it as part of my motivating myself to stay happy and positive amidst the “maddening crowd” ( or not pleasant world and other events in 3-D at the moment ) – to assist in my recuperation from major surgery in mid October.
It also reminded myself that several years ago I myself wrote a poem, about Christmas, which could be a song! I have no idea how to set it to music or make amendments to set it to music. If anyone reading this wants to do so, and let me know, PLEASE do so. This poem is my Gift to you. It is nice to give back / to Pay it forward / and to be in the PRESENT.
Namaste, Celine
Wish upon Your Star
Starry, starry starlight
The first star that I see tonight
I wish I may, wish I might
Have this Star-felt wish tonight
Peace, wonder, love and light
For love, that is what is right
Now wish upon your star
The Divine is not so far
When you see your star tonight
It may be hard to see light
But the Divine is bright
Your story will finish right
Let your light shine, shine
Everything is fine, fine
Hold your light, bright, bright
Help us reach the heights, height
Is your story right, right
Does your star shine bright, bright
Is your story error or
A fantasy of terror
Is your story of need
Face it, there’s no place for greed
Love is the opposite
And life is a composite
When you dance toward the light
You make the stars shine bright, bright
So shine and be wise, wise
Atoms are what you comprise
Let your light shine, shine
Everything is fine, fine
Hold your light, bright, bright
Help us reach the heights, height
Anger is a bitter pill
It’s better to be still
Await the voice of reason
You’re not here for treason
Frustration drains life force
Sets us on a confused course
When all the stars seem dim
And the world looks really grim
Go to your centre, feel One
Peace to you and everyone
Know the Divine is bright
Your story will finish right
Let your light shine, shine
Everything is fine, fine
Hold your light, bright, bright
Help us reach the heights, height
Our story is of growth
Really is nothing to loathe
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
To starlight all go, all must
Final curtain will fall
Stand upon a new shore
Live your own story well
Doubts, fears you need to dispel
When you see your star tonight
It may be hard to see light
But the Divine is bright
Your story will finish right
Let your light shine, shine
Everything is fine, fine
Hold your light, bright, bright
Help us reach the heights, height
Need to manifest love
Untold blessings from above
As much as you can shine, shine
Everything is fine, fine
Now wish upon your star
The Divine is not so far
So
Let your light shine, shine
Everything is fine, fine
Hold your light, bright, bright
Help us reach the heights, height
So our journey ends, ends
Hand in hand turn the bend, bend
Let your light shine, shine
Everything is fine, fine …..
