Shooting Stars

Mother has always told me before 
Be careful of being renowned 
Neither you'll stay forever nor 
Someday you'll be unknown. 
 
There will be a time when you'll glow 
Bright as the stars, you'll be seen 
Yet running time will never be slow 
So be good and don't be mean. 
 
I've known a million stars 
I formerly looked up high 
They've already been too far 
They fell down and almost die
