I Am a Star

I know my creator who made me on the fourth day,                                                                                                                                the mid-point of a seven day week.                                                                   I don't act, make movies, or seek fortune or fame.                                         How are you? My name is Bozrah.

I am a real and live star, part of a team and not alone                                                                                                                               I partner with the sun and moon to light up the earth.
I know my purpose, and I know where I belong                                                                                                                                                    
I was made and placed in the sky                                                                                                                                 It's my home, where my story began
                                                                                                                                                  I was made to help light up the night,                                                                                                                              becoming a tool for separating night from day
I'm not a faraway rock with nothing to do                                                                                                             I'm not human but light for your dark nights
I saw you last night headed to work the late night shift                                                                                                              

I'm honored to serve God in this capacity
When I have served my purpose,                                                                                                                                   I will burn out and die just like you
