A Rhyming Prayer for Easter

I feel it is time to change the focus of Rhyme Me a Smile. While I may highlight news articles as inspiration occasionally, my poetry has become an integral part of my spiritual journey and I feel called to begin sharing those thoughts here. The poem below was inspired by my discovery of New Thought (a spiritual belief system) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to which its adherents subscribe.

Make Me a Twinkling Star

by Rachel Hoyt

I wish upon the stars tonight.

I pray I may,

I hope I might,

Give the world

All love and light,

Help push darkness

Out of sight -

Kill with kindness,

Accept fright,

Cherish oneness,

Sparkle bright.

I wish to spread your Divine light,

To twinkle for you day and night.
