Eternal pride

For a loved one we will always cherish.

I found my lodestar

One solitary dawn.

It twinkled till I thought

My sight would be gone-

It was my lovely Venus

That mellowed to dawn.

With glee and despair

I say goodbye.

In hopes of seeing

My lodestar tonight.

Come, for sure

I know it will,

For Venus and I

Are children of a kin

Whose hearts abridge

Never say goodbye.

I see my lovely Venus

Fade away to the light

Of dawn’s grey

Which turns to white.

A faint spot

In the morning blue

That welcomes with vigour

The orange true

Of morning light;

Welcomed into the safe abode

Of a new sun.
