The buzz
The talk about town
Well, it's not the Oscars
It's the Star Awards.
What's that you might ask?
It's a very special event
That recognises people
From all over Ireland
For helping, teaching and inspiring people
Back into adult learning.
They type
Collate
File
Record
All the stories
All the tears
The laughter
And the hope
And they bundle it all together
And email it to the judges.
They read
Examine
Cry and laugh
Each entry stirs an emotion
They sit
Watch
Listen
To all the finalist
And OMG is their job so hard.
Each entry bursts in
With so much inspiration
That the world should witness
Facebook Twitter Instagram
Observe what the judges see
Now that would make a different world
Today is their day
The drum roll will play
To hear whose won
More tears more excitement
The tension builds
And then
The winners are ......
Everyone is a winner
They've all done their very best
So as I said it may not be the Oscars
Or have a red carpet
But it has so much more
And that's for sure.
Enjoy the day.
May it bring a smile, a tear and a huge clap of hands
For everyone there
Is a star bursting to shine.
