SABRINA
You will not find Jane Taylor's name on any list of best known poets, but her poem has probably been recited by more that all of the powerful poems of Frost, Whitman, and Sandburg combined. What is it? “Twinkle, twinkle little star.” For most of us it is one of the first poems we learned.
Today when celebrity hype is at its peak, when sports stars, actors, and actresses are regarded as major role models, we need o remember that the primary influences in our lives were most probably obscure, uncelebrated people who, day by day shared the simple poetry of life through their examples to us.
Superstars have their place, but it is us, ordinary people who have the biggest opportunity to influence those around us. It is not a burden, but an honor. You are a role model for some child or adult. Remember it, live it, choosing your steps and words carefully, trusting in God's guidance.
