SING, SING A POEM Submitted by: Rese Ammons
My husband and I
met at tech school in the Air Force. We were married there, but
separated only a week after we were married. Even though our
assignments took us to the same place, I still had another month of
training before I could join him. Being newly weds it was somewhat
hard being away from him. He would call me every night at the same
time on the dorm pay phone.
I decided I
wanted to give him something special to think of me so I wrote a
song that I would sing to him. It took me a week to get it perfected
and I had picked the date I would sing it to him, which was our two
week anniversary.
He called that
night, right on schedule. I got very serious with him on the phone
and told him there was something I needed to tell him. I think he
was afraid I was already breaking up with him, as he got very quiet.
With about 50 other people standing around waiting to use the
phones, I sang him the song I wrote, and although he won't admit it,
I'm pretty sure it brought tears to his eyes. I heard him sniffling
through the phone. We will have been married 13 years this October
24th and I still sing that song to him often. I have included the
words here.
Beside
the moon, on a starry night,
Shines a
star with brilliant light.
That's
the star I wished on, when I wished for you.
And
every night when the sun goes down
I'm
reminded of the joy I've found.
A
happiness that only comes, from a love so true.
Star
Light, Star Bright,
Thank
you for my wish tonight.
Of all
the things Life has to give
I have a
reason, now to live.
And even
though we are apart
two
hearts beat as just one heart.
My soul
now completed,
By the
love I found in you.
