Bright Star

For my Niece Kay

Oh, little bright star
That shines so bright
Why can you not
See your own light

It beaming with rays
Brilliant and white
Glowing beautifully
A stunning sight

A twinkle that glows
Dancing with glee
A shiny speck
For all to see

Oh, little bright star
That shines so bright
Why can you not
See your own light

It’s filled with love
A warmth aglow
A sparkle at night
That always shows

It silvery gleam
Beams in the night
That lights a path
With bright white light

Oh, little bright star
That shines so bright
Why can you not
See your own light?

This was such a motivational read. The star is the epitome of brightness and yet it is sadly unable to appreciate its own power. A deep metaphor that was treated beautifully here, it reminds me of those who give light to others inspite darkness looming within them. This is a very noble quality but not always good for those who posses it. They must be reminded of their light, their beauty and goodness. It also reminded me of a loved one who lost her life convinced there was no light in her though she was the brightest and best. A poem that speaks to the reader deeply and has beautiful wording, flow and rhyme.

My niece is struggling and is receiving treatment for her depression at the moment. She is a hyper-intelligent, kind and funny girl and I hope and pray she knows just how much this world and our family need her!!

I understand the pain of depression. I'm sure her family and loved ones are telling her how much she's loved and needed, everyday. She'll need constant assurance till she gets back her confidence and strength to fight the depression. I wish her all the very best in life and your family too.

Thank you kindly. Depression is definitely a struggle and I hope she will soon be back to her normal self.

It is said that a pretty butterfly does not know how pretty and wanted she is because she can't see the beauty of her wings, I think it's very natural for some of us to feel less or not realise our worth and strength, and with that being the case we always gotta have and we do, people who remind us that we are worth it all and are limitless, who make us see our light, I believe this is what your poem is doing here, for your sweet niece and to everyone who may feel like this.

Hope this bright star finds her light and sparks her whole sky alive with glitters of her smile and beauty of her heart! Love the metaphors you used here, such a bright and angelic poem this is PB, loved reading it!

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you so kindly for your words. I am hoping and praying that she sees her worth and how truly special she is. That this world indeed needs her in it.

Sometimes the brilliance of one's own reflection is blinding & hinders, hampers or denies such seeing .. These words shine PB .. Regards, Neville

Thank you. My niece is struggling with so serious depression issues at the moment. She is so sweet funny and hyper intelligent

[Neville]

I am truly sorry to hear that .. and hope the pendulum swings favourably in the other direction real soon .. Neville

[Poetic Beauty]

Me too. Depression is a cruel thing to endure

[Neville]

and none of us are immune to any of its many guises

[Poetic Beauty]

It affects some is deeper and and more profoundly and while I have had my moments of sadness and melancholy; I have not had to feel the clinical version of it where all hope seems lost. I can’t fathom the pain it causes.
