Grandma’s Lament:

 Little Star

A shooting star danced across my years,

a beauty to behold, taken too quickly I sit in tears

Bereft of the joy and left here to wonder why,

Oh!  Little star I’lllook for you in the sky

Forever I will wonder, things that might’ve been,

Anxiously awaiting nightfall until you shine again

Little star smile on me, know you have my love

Within me throughout my journey I’ll look for you above

Little star

Dedicated to Melani
