*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. *
