A Star Is Born

I was there
When you took your last breath
I held you hand

I couldn't stay
In that room
I hope you'll understand

Every day
I think of you
A life taken too soon

I used to tell
Your son
You were the biggest star next to the moon

A shining light
In life and in death
You'd light up any room

Sometimes
I feel you close
Watching, even smell your faint perfume

One day
I'll hold that hand again
You'll help me through the night

Keep me safe
When my breath is laboured
Lead me to your beautiful light
