Star Light

Is the star that shines the brightest

The first to fly the farthest

Or is it the first to fly

Straight down from the sky


The star in the night sky

Is not always so high

They're not so out of reach

For as much as we preach


Like us from down below

More stars appear here

Before our eyes


Like us they live

And shine so bright

And illuminate the night


Sometimes the stars that shine the brightest

Are the first to leave our sky

From their home, so high


The ones that fall and disappear

Can make us cry a single tear

Their beauty can touch us deeply

For some deeper than others could ever see


Once it's gone they are never seen again

Not able to shine through the night

The sight they left once, we can hold

Even if their story forever goes untold


Like us one star can change a life

Like us it can brighten up the darkness

And bring beautiful light in the night


Once their gone the scene they make is no more

Only shown through those who saw them before

Their story may continue to go untold

But will grow forever older

In the hearts of those young and old


They may just be a memory

But it can be everything

To those they touch personally

Hold them forever as precious

Like those close to you and me
