Star For Momma
Momma since you've been gone things just haven't been the same
I look up at the heavens and this one star shines like a candle flame.
When my heart would ache, I would look up into the dark sky.
That star would awake sweet memories of you in my minds eye!
I felt an uncontrolable urge to name that particular star.
Because when I look into my telescope , it gives me hope knowing where you are!
I found the information about purchasing stars in the "Cosmo's Magazine."
Without hesitation I purchased my star and called it "Billie Jean!"
Momma I named that star after you because of how the star made me feel.
After all I've been through, I know this star is so very real.
Not only does it exist in the sky, it exist in the heavens like a canvas of art!
So when I look up I feel you nearby, and you're forever in my heart!!!
