I caught a falling star

             I caught a falling star

I caught a falling star, oh yes, I swear I did I put it in a jar and fastened tight the lid So when it’s late at night or days are kind of gray Then I can use its light to help me find my way

I seem to recall an old song that began, "Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket." Can't recall the rest of the lyrics, but the general sense of it was don't give up on love. I get the same sense from this brief offering. Some days, maybe some months, are going to be "kind of gray," meaning at best, dull. But if you've got that star in a jar, you can always take a look for reassurance. As a frequent writer of epigrams, I do love the short, pithy ones.

Thanks so much John. I sort of remember that song as well. I might have to look it up to refresh the rest of my memory. Thanks so much for coming by to read and for your great comment. I appreciate it.

Very magical, uplifting and inventive poem. You bring the star to life, not to mention the lovely rhyme.
Best, Betty
