Fallen Star


Fallen Star

That morning we knew something was wrong

We could not save him not for long

God took him peacefully as he breathed his last breath

He closed his eyes and went to rest

But a wild heart cannot be caged

He proves it as he flies through the Milky Way

Singing songs and dancing dances

Missed greatly but now he lives with new chances

New opportunities and old missed people

Who have waited for him so patiently

They came from close they came from far

To see the man that is our fallen star

They listen all day to the tales he must tell

He searches the crowd and his heart fell

He realizes his earthly chain is broken

All of our lives to him are now unspoken

As one chain is mended the other must break

Until all are reunited again in one special place

I will wait patiently until that time comes

For now I must feel the silence as it hums

Hearing you in my head

Knowing your home with them instead

It breaks my heart for me to say

Please remember me as you fly through the Milky Way
