*what we call ' shooting stars' are not actually stars. What we call shooting stars is a streak of light from dust of burning meteors entering earth's atmosphere at high speeds. NPS.Gov.

They are far and away
Separated from the day
They light up the night sky
And by morning light, they say goodbye

They do not make thunder sounds
They watch over us, all around
One astounds us in the morning
Another gazes at us in the evening

There are millions making the stary nights
Turning the darkness into the light
We often look up to those heavenly stars
And declare our dreams from distance far

O morning star, may God light up my life
O evening star, may I be free of fright
O stars of night, you dispell the darkness
O stars of night, you also minimize sadness

O stars of night, so quiet but yet with so much to say
O stars of night, kings and queens under the canopy
O kings of the night, I've seen you falling without causing fear
O queens of the night, it's because most times you burn up in the atmosphere. *
