Shooting Stars
As clouds prevent a nightly view
And rain will sting your eye
A burst of light breaks through dark
Stars shoot across the sky
The light is unmistakable
The speed is more than fast
This rarity might not come again
This memory will last
Your luck to catch a prize like this
You’re blessed your timing’s right
Not lost are lessons that it brings
There’s light in every night
Reality tests the strongest man
Our share of pain and strife
But as stars shoot across the sky
She shoots into your life
