They Shine For You
November 2, 2016
Love
Is like a star
Not always visible
But always there
Through the tears
And smiles
The uncontrollable laughter
And cries for help
Through
The undeserved
Compliments
And
Unneeded
Apologies
The stars shine
They form
little pockets
of hope
They form
A light
That shines
Straight to the heart
The stars
light up
The darkness
Provide
A ray
of hope
Hope
That one day
We can all see the stars
That shine
Just for us
As love
Is the brightest star
We will ever see

Your words are meaningful and beautiful. Keep writing, you are talented.
I was inspired to write this poem because I was feeling down. However, I always try to remember that despite the pain, there are always people who care about me and are willing to do anything for me. This is love, and something that not everyone is lucky enough to receive. I wanted to pass on the message that love is crucial and love is so much more than a husband and a wife or siblings. Love is caring for someone else, and being their star that peeks through when all they can see is the darkness around them.
