Little Star

One fine night  as I stood  by the garden

Uttering a  pray’r looking up in heaven

Suddenly a little star above me slowly glisten

No other stars around, nothing to get even.

As  I looked from afar, a bunch of stars are shining

They’re so bright, they twinkle and they’re so eye-catching

I smiled  - they’re so merry and I enjoyed looking

But the little star is what my eyes are searching.

Night  after night, I look up in the sky

To see the little star and at its presence I sigh,

“I’m a friend, little star  -  I’m here to get by,

To be with you up  there has been my heart’s desire.”

Years passed and still I look up at the little star

Suddenly I noticed, it has moved  quite far

And now it’s different, it shines so bright

Mixed feelings I felt,  it’s peculiar in my sight.

The little star I admired started to grow

Though now, he’s bright, he’s got  a humble glow

Just one thing I can’t deny, he seemed to be so far

Impossible for me to reach, oh my little star!
