A STAR FROM HEAVEN

Almost six years after, our son was born

Life seemed complete, but God had another plan

And though it was not what we could foresee

We have always known, God is greater than man

And on the eve of 22 September 1991

When it was just a little after eight

The sky was filled with stars, and one fell

Yes, a star fell from heaven’s open gate

It seemed like a miracle

A star so small but yet so bright

She brightened our whole world

She brightened the beautiful night

The first time I looked at her in my arms

She opened her eyes and searched my face

Her little fingers wrapped around my thumb

I saw her smile, as my heart began to race

She was so tiny so beautiful,

She filled my heart with boundless joy

For now God had given us

A little doll , our own  new toy

As time passed by, her crying & her cooing,

Filled each day and filled each night

And the sounds of her  baby talk & laughter

Made the whole world around us seem al-right

I remember when she cried at night time

All she wanted was for me to sing her a, lullaby

I would pick her up, and sing her favourite one

“ A fallen star that’s what you are… ”as the night went by

Yes, we realised that our family was complete

With two kids, a boy and a girl

And we were proud parents of two special gems

One was a diamond and the other a pearl

She has stolen every one’s hearts

With her beauty and charm

With her lovely big eyes, and sweet smile

Even a mean heart, she could disarm

And now 20 years have gone by

And she’s bloomed in to a beautiful young lady

She still fills my heart with pride and joy

For me she’ll always remain my sweet li'l baby

Within her she has special gifts, special talents

In her heart she has a source of dreams

And in her mind she has the strength to fulfil

Each one, no matter how hard it seems 

Within her she has an ideal, her own belief

She could be an inspiration to today’s youth

She’s a promise to achievement, that will be kept

She has the conviction, the strength, the truth

In her eyes you can see the strength

To meet the world , on her own terms

She will fulfil all our hopes& dreams

This, her spirit & confidence, confirms

Within her we see,  a promise of the future

She is something, so precious and rare
We believe in her, we know she’s special

She’s a star from heaven, put in our care
