BRIGHT STAR

BRIGHT STAR

As I gaze upon this star so bright,
I can’t help but wonder about its everlasting light.
Thinking of the day I long to have,
A mother who is there to hold and love me.
Why bright star that shines your light so bright,
Shine your fair glory on my torn world with all you might.
Please make me see your beautiful white light,
Instead of evil colors that make me want to fight.
Show me, bright star, your love and glory,
And soon, my light will be just as bright and not so gory.
