There Is a New Star Up In Heaven Tonight

Up in the firmaments where there hang great bodies, 
contending for the space of glory and power, 
undoing each other as the times of the days would allow, 
They didn't pay heed to a new star that had appeared.. 
The earthlings didn't notice it either. 
When the golden lamp of the day was spent, 
and the great kings and queens  took their places in their might, 
The heavens lighted with an unusual glow
and 'twas not  even from the full moon
In a moment the heavens gasped with the words of delight 
"there is a new star in heaven tonight"
She had climbed up slowly and found her place 
Mankind has lost another one of her own 
An angel among men, now hangs in the sky 
In  the light of the day they didn't see her shine. 
She was just like any other person.. 
Now that her departure has cast a dark gloom all over, 
Her light now shines in revelation to all that behold her
Even in her death, she she still casts light in our dark..
