This Little Light of Mine

For a beautiful girl who lived the only way life should be:

A star shooting across the sky- that's all I am, that's all anyone could ever be.
Bright, beautiful, full of life.

But it is only a flicker of light,

Incredible, yet gone away in a blink.

It makes no sense to race across the sky more than once.
It could never be as bright or as beautiful.

So why wish it to happen again? Or happen for longer than a wink?

One might just look away.

Only a certain few will stare up at the night sky,

Until their necks are sore and heads heavy,

Without the expectation
To see the light within the darkness.

So look, really look.

It won't last long.
