My Guiding Star

Title:     My Guiding Star
Author: Cotton Noe [More Titles by Noe]

Adrift alone on life's bleak ocean waste,
Through starless nights and dreary sunless days;
Wherever currents led o'er pathless maze,
I plied the oars of aimless toil, and faced
Defeat impatiently, nor ever traced
One ray of hope along the murky haze
Of life's horizon, till I caught the blaze
Of one lone star, whose light was virgin-chaste.

But now I sail through seas where fortune smiles,
And not a cloud the brilliant sky doth mar;
For, ever twinkling near that blazing light,
A little orb my every care beguiles:
My radiant wife is that lone guiding star,
My laughing blue-eyed boy its satellite!

[The end]
Cotton Noe's poem: My Guiding Star
