A new star

I see a brighter star tonight

As I look at the sky;

It glistens in a teardrop

As it drifts upon a sigh.

A little light all filled with soul,

A speck so like the rest;

But to me it's brighter than the moon,

Above all, it's the best.

A part of earth for just awhile.

The heavens are its home;

Here it was confined as life,

There it's free to roam.

A little gem to crown the sky,

A jewel for all to see;

Its sparkle is for all mankind,

Its memory, just for me.
