GOODNIGHT, SHINING STAR
A Special Poem For Powers Boothe

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Here's a special poem for my favorite Texan acting legend. Wherever you're hanging out now, Powers, I hope you see this, & know that your little biggest fan is hoping to meet you one day. *big hugs*

Catch you later, sweetheart. *blows a kiss*

In the interim, do tell me what you (& he) think of the poem!


Goodnight, Powers Boothe, my shining star
Shimmer upon me wherever you are
Watch me while I sleep, watch me while I play,
And abide with me through all hours of the day

Guide me with your wisdom, reach me with your words,
And never let a whisper spoken by you be unheard
Grace me with your presence, & love me with your amity
To get me through each & every one of life's calamities

Even when it seems like my plans are ripping at the seams,
I know that you'll be there to help me realize my dreams!
No matter what alternative adjustments or arrangements I may make,
You & I will both see all my projects come out great!

Wherever we may go in life, & whatever we may do,
Know, my darling Powers, that I will always love you...
As long as, in that great big other world, you're still alive,
I can find the strength within me to carry on & thrive

Whene'er night falls upon me, & I cry tears of pain & fright,
I know you'll wipe them away, & tell me, "It'll be all right!"
In my dreams, take me into your arms to gently hold,
And keep me safe, warm, & sheltered from the bitter cold

And when I wake up in the morning, never leave my side,
Always stay with me each hour to comfort & abide,
And shimmer upon me wherever you are!
Goodnight, Powers Boothe, my shining star...
