Star Watcher
27 December, 2004
Author: Ben Franklin
A nightly routine he has had since the age of
5,
his daddy showing him the constellations
and it's wonders before he died.
His dad always told him if he ever passed away
he would still listen to what he had to say.
Just look up at night
and I will shine back as a
light.
The stars amaze Tommy everytime he lifts his
head,
It reminds him that we will never be dead.
Now Tommy takes his son to view the stars,
he points at a particular one
and explains to his son......
'that ones a part of who you are'.

we are all stars |
