Shooting Star

I am the light you see at night
I am the air you breathe
I am the child being born
I am the old man dying
I am everything you see, feel and hear
I am you and all you are
I was once a shooting star
Sent across the galaxy, charged
With bringing life,
To watch mankind, evolve and grow
Into what, we still don't know
