ONE HEALING STAR is a lyrics for my Family of Children and Grandkids and Great Grandkids...it's the song of any older person heading, as grace-fully as possible, into older age and older decisions and perspectives...hopefully with some thought, compassion, and with loads of Love and Fullness of Life!...I hope it has a song...if not, then it is a chant within the darkness...an acceptance within the dawn....

ONE HEALING STAR

CHORUS

One small star fell in the dark night
Took its time from long ago:
O Healing Star O Wonder Star
Pretend to heal my sorrows, Star -
Pretend to hold my Joys....
_________________

Fell out of place where ever place is:
On the map I can't find home -
You were my lodestar, little family -
You were just kids - and now you're grown...

Your kids have kids and I have age now:
You can't follow where I've been...
All your roads are all your own now...
Live to love and Live to win....

CHORUS
____________________

I'm not counting on the sun rise -
No more prayin for some rain:
To quench my thirst for life and livin:
To please bring me home again...

All the world is now my home -
And everywhere there's Love and Song -
I've been here a long, long time now -
None of us can stay here long...

CHORUS
____________________

It's a new year from an old year...
Time is passing on each season:
I'm just livin Life with grace now
Best I can: no rhyme: no reason....

Give me Joy then bring me Sorrow:
They aren't news to me or shame:
Long before I was newborn:
I had this Face. I knew my Name....
