The Light of Stars
The night is come, but not too soon;
And sinking silently,
All silently, the little moon
Drops down behind the sky.
There is no light in earth or heaven
But the cold light of stars;
And the first watch of night is given
To the red planet Mars.
Is it the tender star of love?
The star of love and dreams?
O no! from that blue tent above,
A hero's armor gleams.
And earnest thoughts within me rise,
When I behold afar,
Suspended in the evening skies,
The shield of that red star.
O star of strength! I see thee stand
And smile upon my pain;
Thou beckonest with thy mailed hand,
And I am strong again.
Within my breast there is no light
But the cold light of stars;
I give the first watch of the night
To the red planet Mars.
The star of the unconquered will,
He rises in my breast,
Serene, and resolute, and still,
And calm, and self-possessed.
And thou, too, whosoe'er thou art,
That readest this brief psalm,
As one by one thy hopes depart,
Be resolute and calm.
O fear not in a world like this,
And thou shalt know erelong,
Know how sublime a thing it is
To suffer and be strong.
Longfellow

~ Love to you Gail and Daniel ~
Good-night! Good-night! as we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight, in the days
That are no more, and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken up thy lamp and gone to bed;
I stay a little longer, as one stays
To cover up the embers that still burn.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~
Take care Gail ~ love Hazel xxx

PLANTED WITH KINDNESS, IT IS WARMED BY THE SUN,

♥A little hug from me to you,
To make you smile
when you feel blue,
To make you happy
when your sad,
To let you know

Now I've given a hug to you,
Somehow I feel much better too
Hugs are better when they're shared♥
♥So pass one on to show you care.♥
♥Sent with all my love and thanks♥

"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, (protecting it's sanity), covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."
