This morning, while out walking,
I hadn’t gotten very far…
when I happened to look up
and see a shooting star.
It was in that magical time of day,
before the night gives way to dawn.
I saw a flash,
a streak of light,
and then… the star was gone.
And I had to stop and marvel
at how that star and the night contrasted…
there but for a moment…
beautiful while it lasted.
I continued on my morning walk
again, I hadn’t gotten very far,
when I realized how all of us
are like that shooting star.
No matter how we see our life…
of this there is no doubt
We are here but for a brief moment
before our light burns out.
I made a wish upon that star:
That everyone would be loving and caring and kind…
so people will smile when they see their star
and at the light they leave behind?
