Born under the stars <br />of the late 19th Century <br /> <br />she gasped in awe <br />as the 20th Century stars <br /> <br />revolved <br />about her head <br /> <br />wondering in her mind <br />if she would ever see <br /> <br />21st Century stars <br />glinting in her eyes <br /> <br />and yes <br />she almost makes it <br /> <br />but she leaves <br />just as the 21st century arrives <br /> <br />its stars searching everywhere <br />for the wonder of her <br /> <br />night after endless night.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/star-for-lyn-2/
