Starlight

By Lawrence Hoffman

STARLIGHT, SEND YOUR LIGHT

SHOW HER PEACE TONIGHT

SEND HER OUR LOVE AND

DO HOLD HER HAND WHEN IT IS

TIME TO UNDERSTAND

SUNLIGHT, SHINE WHERE SHE LAYS

KEEP IT BRIGHT SO WE'LL

REMEMBER HER NAME

LIGHT THE PATHS THAT WE'LL

TAKE IN OUR TIME KEEP THEM

WARM SO THEY'LL GROW GRASS

AND SWEET, SWEET RHYMES.

WIND BLOW BUT GENTLY FOR HER

HELP A COOL BREEZE TO STIR

HELP HER SPIRIT FLOAT OVER

THIS LAND TO TOUCH OUT THE

FIRES DESTROYING MAN.

RAIN FELL SOFTLY AND SWEET

AS I WALKED FROM THE GRAVE

WHERE LAST WE DID MEET.

AND AS IT DID FALL, I KNEW

SOMEHOW IT CARED AS IT WATERED

THE BED WHERE SHE LAY OVER THERE.
