I looked for a star….
That is as beautiful as you are
I searched all day and searched all night
To find that light that shines so bright
You twinkle no matter how dark times get
And you tell me to never fret
You’re always there to shine down on me
And to surround me with your delicacy
I wish upon you all the time
For that is why I wrote this rhyme
I miss you when I can’t see you
You can’t imagine the pain I go through
So I looked for a star
As beautiful as you are
But I never found one…….
