When All The Stars Poem by jim hogg

No poet's words or angel's harp in heaven
No rising sun or autumn's scene by Rembrandt
Will ever match the lasting thrill
Or precious ache that I feel still

No falling star no rainbow's hue or rapture
No fields of gold or blues guitar by Clapton
Could ever match the lasting bliss
Or ecstasy when we first kissed

And I would make you daisy chains each summer
And if you fell I'd carry you forever
And when the storms of winter blow
I'd bethere to hold you close
With sweetly haunting thoughts of you
when the night sky's deepest blue
when all the stars fade out of view
and only you come shining through

But you and I were fated to be parted
Though life goes on for all the broken-hearted
I can't forget your tenderness
I can't forget your sweet caress

You're all the songs I ever wrote from love dear
You're in each word and in each note my lover
And I will take this memory
Intact into eternity

And in the village where you grew to beauty
I stop from time to time to look for you dear
And when you smile and say hello
I wish I could let you know
These sweetly haunting thoughts of you
when the night sky's darkest blue
and only you come shining through
for all the stars make way for you

I won't forget your tenderness
Your gentle kiss and sweet caress
And I have missed you all my life
It's so long since I held you tight
Your lips so soft, your sweet caress
I won't forget your sweet caress.
