"Hope" - A Star For Me

By Iolanda Scripca

 

 

When parents don't have a choice and die

And all alone survive the loss

As I lie down to sleep at night

They send in dreams A Star For Me...

When Motherhood gets disappointing

And all alone survive the loss

I borrow scissors from my heart

With trembling hands I cut A Star For Me

When trains don't stop and soul mate's gone

And all alone survive the loss

I row by boat on lakes with moons,

I jump and catch reflections of A Star For Me

When I am old, and years fly by

And all alone survive the loss

I won't be sad, would even smile

As I lie down, a final sight...

...A Star For Me...
