Little Star

for my nieces and nephews, god children all over the world....my little stars and for all the children my the angels protect you and sadness forget you

She walks in beauty with her long chestnut brown hair

Smiling eyes

Joyful smile

She begins the journey I pray it treats her fair

As she prepares to fly the nest

I pray the good Lord keeps her blessed

Ever the cure to my broken heart

She came down from the heavens through the hands of love

Shimmering down like a little star

Filling the sky with her light

She was tiny like a pea

She loved pouring the tea

Curious like a kitten

Runs around like a new vampire bitten

Up to play any game

She loved the melody of the choir when we prayed

So eager to learn everything she could

We started with reading books

We watched her hula dance and do kung fu

She would run up to me and ask, " Auntie Jo do you have something for me?"

Then she grew into a lovely teen

Her brother was around then and so did PMS

She would be cranky, moody

It runs in her family

She still carried on as happily

She still sings in the choir

She played Cinderalla's mama

She has a flair for drama

Tonight she told us UC San Diego is her desire

To college she will go and shine higher

Yet in my heart

I still know that sweet pea, my little niece

See her light fill up the sky

Shimmering down like a little star

Little stars scattered across the sky

I am always found in a ray of light

Always on like an eternal sunshine

Even in the day or night

Or just on Zoom online

This bridge eternally connects you and I

I see him in his Miku expo kimono

He is my rainbow

The pot of gold i am lucky to hold

He can be a video game hero

She can too you know

We all have the right to grow

i see her in charge of baking the cakes

Eating and healing every ache

Taking photos of every tree that comes her way

The world is yours

Kick down all unopened doors

Fly high like a bird

Remind the world of her

She is a masterpiece, she is God's beloved art

The world of him is discovered with a pure heart

Little stars can create the better universe

Where we are all treated equally

With an open heart

an open mind

Till its true love we find

Little stars when I see you in the sky

Dreaming the dreams like a butterfly

I am given the gift a blessed sign

True love is mine

Ray of light I will always find my way in the dark
