STARDUST

STARDUST

Please don't shed a tear, for while I have gone, I am still here.

The atoms that once made me are now reborn,

As rays of golden light for a brand-new dawn.

I live on in the eternal dust of the stars,

And who knows, I may have managed to land on Mars.

But no matter where I end up, know that I am near,

For death is just another place, and it holds no fear.

I will accompany you on walks amid the trees,

I'll be the gentle touch of a cooling summer breeze.

Should you ever find yourself alone at night,

Just look to the heavens, third star on the right.

And while I now lay beyond your mortal touch,

Know I will never leave you; I simply love you too much.
