Guiding Star



Guiding star, you shine bright,

My guide, my home, my protection,

Your smile is more valuable

Than any glittering diamond.

Your voice is a gentle breeze

That calms and envelops me.

With you, I feel joy

To live each day intensely.

Even with our differences, we get along

And appreciate and value love.

You inspire me,

My soul belongs to you,

You illuminate the best in me.
