Falling Star In the Sky

I saw a falling star
in the sky, so far away,
on this cool summer night.

Falling stars are like memories
so long ago and so far away,
now faded into dust and vapor.

Falling stars like youth,
are only here for short time,
then are gone and out of sight.

Falling stars like childhood,
enjoy them while you can,
because once there gone,

         it's over.
