The Three Stars

Two lovers stare
Into the night sky
They hold one another
The girl happily sighs

"My theory is that
The stars come in threes.
Some are just too dim
For many people to see"

The young engineer
Had pointed this out
The young girl replies,
"What are you talking about"

The man just smiles
As he holds her tight
Then suddenly a star
Zooms out of sight

"That was a soul
Shooting on by.
They're going to heaven.
No need to cry."

The girl thinks of his words
She seems very unsure
But she just kisses him
And says nothing more

Many months later
The man has passed on
She's cried many tears
She's sad that he's gone

The girl stands outside
She looks to the sky
Her heart stands still
As a star passes by

A thought occurs to her
Was that possibly his soul
For just a moment in time
Her heart felt whole

She then turns to her right
As she sees a bright star
It reminds her of God
So distant and far

Now as she looks closer
She sees something new
It's a dim second star
Yet it's shining so true

Could this be her love
With God in the sky
But where is the third star
Out loud she asks why

Later on that night
She's miserable inside
She takes her own life
She really had tried

But now if a person
Looks into the night
They'll see the third star
Shining so bright!
