I glance up skyward… A tear falls from my eye. A small light catches my attention. I don't know why. It's not a very bright star, It isn't very big, But I feel connected to it somehow. It twinkles up in heaven, And it's beautiful, I know I wish I could be up there with it, But I know I cannot go, I have too many things here to do And too many important people to leave, And even if I wanted to go to that star, I just don't believe that I could fly. I never could fly. But it's enough for me to see the star… MY star, I realize… It's my star…shining above me in the sky. Mine in every way. It's not really significant to anyone or anything, You've probably seen it before, But you wouldn't notice it, Only I would. One day my star will cease to twinkle, And I know that on that day, I will fade from this earth, And join it. -Jada Marie Andrews 4-8-98
