Upon a Falling Star
It was on the eve of Christmas night
I could only sit and gaze at the sky light
The universe, thought I, is mysterious
I guess it makes us as such
I was alone and I did celebrate my loneliness with scotch
Tears did come to my eyes
Why, after all, I did think myself wise
I had left the family nest
Caring not to think that it was so precious
That it was the only thing that did, to me, matter much!
Why, thought I upon a falling star
I wish to travel back in time
Say, star, so glittery, could you help me ease my inner war?
I then closed my eyes and opened them to a new scene
I was yet seven, it was Christmas and I was still the family's queen!
Everyone did surround me, as I woke up and rushed to the magical tree
Mom, dad, grand mom, cousins, even uncles and aunties
Why, my joy and well being was the only thing that mattered
Being a little queen, I must say, had well catered
My laughter was the only thing that wanted my whole family!
A home it was, with warmth and solace
Cosy and enjoyable, oh how I wish for that lost time
A time when the departed was still among us
A time when I was so loved as to be pampered for the sake of a whole fuss
A time I wish to go back to, tonight, as I do sit and drink my scotch!
