The Rising Star Poem by TR Jones

I used to know this guy
Who was born near the fourth of July
His life did not have any drive
For him there was no reason to survive
But then one night the sky cleared
And his painful past disappeared
As the clouds cleared, a star rose
And his heart started to become unfroze
For once again there was a light
That put his spirits in flight
And since that star came about
A smile, he is not without
He feels so happy already
And they aren’t even going steady
So when this star gets to its peak
And he is done with his losing streak
How then will he feel
He will probably think its all unreal
Because it’s so good, so bright
Now that he has a guiding light
