Janet (Dedicated To Janet Anderson From Sweden)

There is a blue star, Janet . . .

(from an unknown English poet)


 

Somewhere is a distant star

called Janet. Why?

One little girl flew there many years ago.

Nobody knew why she did this

or how she flew there.

But one familiar wind told me

about a great love Janet had

for the Little Prince

who lived on the star «B-612».

The famous French writer-pilot,

A. Saint-Exupery,

told about him in his book,

«The Little Prince.»

Janet flew toward the star, B-612,

but lost her way in the galaxy.

So now she is the Princess

of another star. 

Her little house is made of flowers. 

Many kind animals and beautiful birds

live near her. 

The star people love their Princess. 

But every evening, 

Janet goes to her garden. 

She looks at the sky

for a long time.

Janet waits for her beloved Little Prince,

and she believes he must fly to her.

Some day. Maybe.
