A star fell toward the earth, one day
I held it in my hand
The moment was, if I must say
A joy I had not planned
To some, I may have been a fool
Since stars are very hot
But, this star was, indeed, a jewel
And I was injured not.

The star twinkled there in my palm
As if to say hello
Its beauty was a healing balm
I felt so blessed to know
As hours passed, my star and I
Found friendship, unsurpassed
This gift had fallen from the sky
To grant the dreams I’d cast.

A star fell toward the earth, one day
I held it in my hand
The moment was, if I must say
A joy that God had planned
Once I was picked to be your Mom
My life found a new start
For the star I’d kept in my palm
Suddenly stole my heart.
