so little time you had ...

they used to say
that when a child dies a new star appears
kinda cool i guess
that god can fill the sky with our tears

i never knew you
although i cried when i heard the news
i know your mother
so brave for the many times she's had to lose

so little time you had
never to see the sun nor feel it's warming rays
yet even so
you were loved so very much throughout your so few days

and now you're gone
having left so many impressions and so many a scar
and i'll think of you
next time at night that i wish upon a star

goodnight
