A Flash of Light

You were born, and you are, kind of like a shooting star. A flash of light, across the night. Do you perceive, Can you believe? A fleeting gift That's speeding swift Where when the fiery light depart Rest when it complete it's dart You are, and you were born It midnight be.... Or is it morn? Life's first gasp. An ebbing sigh Every seconds a goodbye. Do you believe? Can you perceive? A flash of light, across the night.
