I Saw Your Star: A Final Tribute

I Saw Your Star: A Final Tribute

Brilliant and powerful, your star crossed the sky
It was impossible to view with the naked eye
Eclipsing the sun, it rocked the universe
Here on Earth, it shook the foundation
Of all we knew, of everything established
Away with the old, something new has come
All borders collapsed; an unstoppable instrument
You gave love, life, laughter, hope, inspiration
A sight to behold, tales will surely be told
Of all you freely gave, asking little in return

Something shifted, changed; the cosmos rearranged
Dignity incarnate, you marched onward
Always looking forward; the hope for better days
Your head held high, you still beheld the lowly
Swaddling everyone, you held them tight
Allowed them to feel your unending affection
The end in sight, you gave a final gift
A burst of brightness, an extra dose of love
Energy spent, transcending hardships and pain
You looked to the future, became something new

One thing certain to stand the test of time
Is the undying love you left behind
Always in your heart, forever safe and secure
Is the world you touched, graced with your beauty
Equally unforgettable will be your majesty
One thing I know; a thing that's true
Deep inside of me and the hearts of the world
From now on, to the end of time and beyond
You will never be forgotten, always in our hearts
Your star will remain, burning brighter than ever before
