The sparkle from the stars does shine
On my meek and quiet mind
I see the glitter in your hair
I feel the warmth as you draw near
Your heart was beating faster then
Now it slows as life does bend
The sparkle in those caring eyes
Seems to flicker, as tears run by
The warmth of the skin that was near me
Now feels like ice, alone, in the sea
Beautiful thoughts alive in my mind
Beauty and friendship, and a heart that is kind
