The Passionate Poet

You would radiate heat

even as a sweet baby

as the fire you carried

hinted your destiny.

I’d sing a “C” note 

as we’d ride in the car,

and as a baby you’d copy me,

my sweet little star!

You’d smile with your eyes

just like you do now,

and with that gentle spirit

Oh, how your parents are proud!-

of the young lady you are,

how of others you care,

magnetic to be around

I often just stare

at this person we’ve made

pretty features you hold,

I think about your future

and when you’ll grow old.

Esther means “star”

and you’re “ready for war”

and I am afraid

that’s just what’s in store.

But your love for the Lord

is growing each day

and I hope we prepare you

the Biblical way.

You are His star, Esther

and they’ll see Him in you.

Keep following Jesus

He’ll know what to do.
