In Search of Your Star

Did you ever think what it takes to be a star You must have a talent, more than the rest Set a goal, and with luck you might go far Rise above all the others, and be the best. You’ll be honored by many for years to come But with time your fame will eventually fade And your life, only remembered by some Even though you thought you had it made. When a generation or two have passed You’ll be forgotten. as if you weren’t there So, it is important to make every moment last To live in the Now, with purpose and care. Fame is illusive, be content just to live Make a difference to those whom you hold dear Think not of yourself, as your love you give Stop longing for fame, your missions made clear. There are billions of souls on this great earth Struggling to live in their own little space To help just a few will give your life worth And when done, in heaven, you’ll find your place.
