"A Shooting Star"

In the night warm air you see
a star twinkling, high above in
the night air. Suddenly it races
across the sky, it’s a falling star
does it feel pain at all or do you
hear it cry?

You wonder how long has this
star been twinkling in the night
air. How long does this star
been so bright? Before it
streams across the night air
with a mighty flare.

The awesome star is now
gone. Where can it be? It
was twinkling in the night
air. It won’t be found
from dust till dawn.

Will all the stars soon be
out of sight? When you
look up in the night air.
You see no twinkling as
look with all of your might.
