Where does your star lie?
I've been searching through the clouds.
Gazing upon the skies.
Peering through each constellation,
wondering where your star lies?
I've stumbled through each galaxy.
Tripped upon the moon.
Bewildered by this universe
that has taken your star too soon.
I have seen your star shine.
I have witnessed it disappear.
But where your star lies,
still remains unclear.
Misplaced by the dark of space
Hoping your light will reappear.
Dumbfounded by the answer
I didn't realize was so near.
I've been searching through the clouds.
Gazing into my son's eyes.
Astonished by my discovery.
I have found where your star lies.
