Analysis of Guiding Star
Guiding star, you shine bright,
My guide, my home, my protection,
Your smile is more valuable
Than any glittering diamond.
Your voice is a gentle breeze
That calms and envelops me.
With you, I feel joy
To live each day intensely.
Even with our differences, we get along
And appreciate and value love.
You inspire me,
My soul belongs to you,
You illuminate the best in me.
