Name A Star! Poem by Denis Martindale

Please name a star for her alone,
The girl you think divine,
The girl you always want to phone,
Your hoped-for Valentine...
The girl you hesitate to kiss,
Yet long to kiss each day,
Because you think of this as bliss,
If she says that's OK...

For she's your dreamgirl, that's for sure,
The sweetheart cherished now,
The focus of your great amour,
If destinies allow...
And doesn't she deserve a star
To twinkle high above,
As if to put her on a par,
Simply because of love?

So name a star for her alone,
The girl you think sublime,
To signify true love's been shown
Throughout the terms of time...
When she looks up, she's bound to smile
At her first claim to fame,
Remembering that you've got style
That silver star to name...
