To
It is always comforting to know,
As you grow
That your childhood heroes,
As fixed stars in the firmament,
,
Remain for stability
In the changing aging of life
But as they die off
As, well, they should
In the course of life
Like the passing of your parents
Which raises you to the next rung,
Of being a parent yourself
You must come into your own
And become a star to someone else.
