As I step outside onto the front porch,
All that's there is the dark night sky and the cold midnight breeze on my face.
I feel alone,
There’s nothing,
I see nothing,
I feel nothing.
But then,
I look up.
Little sparkling shimmers of light fill the dark evening sky.
Everywhere I look there's a new and even brighter one.
When I turn back around to go in,
I decided to look up one last time at all the wonders.
That’s when I saw it,
The brightest shimmer of all,
falling through the sky.
What could it be?
I run inside to find my family to show them the amazing wonder.
Hurrying to get back outside,
We looked up,
and it was gone.
I am beyond disappointed.
I don’t know what to feel,
What to say,
What to think.
I hang my head down in disappointment.
Little did I know,
Laying there between my two bare feet,
The perfect silhouette of a newly fallen star.
All that's there is the dark night sky and the cold midnight breeze on my face.
I feel alone,
There’s nothing,
I see nothing,
I feel nothing.
But then,
I look up.
Little sparkling shimmers of light fill the dark evening sky.
Everywhere I look there's a new and even brighter one.
When I turn back around to go in,
I decided to look up one last time at all the wonders.
That’s when I saw it,
The brightest shimmer of all,
falling through the sky.
What could it be?
I run inside to find my family to show them the amazing wonder.
Hurrying to get back outside,
We looked up,
and it was gone.
I am beyond disappointed.
I don’t know what to feel,
What to say,
What to think.
I hang my head down in disappointment.
Little did I know,
Laying there between my two bare feet,
The perfect silhouette of a newly fallen star.
