FUTURE OF OURS



Look at them,
Like fresh drops of dew.
Nestled in the palms of leaves,
Gift of the heavens.
Stretching and turning
Slipping and sliding
Like delicate pearls,
Glinting with laughter
Let us not lose these
Little stars on earth

Like sunshine on winter's day
Bathes the courtyard in gold
They banish darkness from our hearts
And warmed us to the core
Let us not lose these
Little stars on earth.

Like sleep trapped behind eyelids
Where sweet dreams abound
And in the dream an angel rises
Like fountains of colour
Like butterflies upon blossoms
Like love which is selfless
They're surging waves of hope
They're the dawn of dreams and eternal joy
Let us not lose these
Little stars on earth

On the heavy darkness of night's bosom
They sit like a flame dispelling gloom
Like an orchard's fragrance
They fill the air
Like a kaleidoscope of myriad hues
Like flowers reaching up the sun
Like the notes of a flute
In the quiet of a grove
They are breaths of fresh air
The rhythm and music of life
Let us not lose these
Little stars on earth


Like the pulsing life
Of the neighbourhood
Like buds determined to bloom
Like the breeze of the season
Caught in your palm
They're the blessings for our elders
Let us not lose these
Little stars on earth
