If I a Star
If I a Star
Curtis Johnson
As usual, the stars, way out there
in the distant sky, will probably
be out tonight.
If it should become
cloudy or foggy, they might become
hidden from sight.
Otherwise, they will
appear and fulfill their God-given purpose,
by sparkling beautifully and bright.
If I were a star, just for you, I would shine
and light up the night.
If I were a star, I would come from afar,
from way yonder in the vast galaxy,
and not burn out, or even delay.
If I were a star, I would beg you
to look carefully, so you don’t lose sight,
as I make my personal flight.
If I were a star, I would be a lone star
and hard to miss, but if you are not
attentive, you just might.
This lone star would appear just for a while,
to shine its brightest on its given date.
This lone star would be programmed
just for you, and guaranteed to not be late.
This lone star would arrive right at the scheduled time,
just to smile and shine for the dearest friend of mine.
No, I am not a star, but if I were,
I would make history by arriving
special delivery and shine just for you.
