A shooting star
A burst of light
It flashed above our heads
My eye did catch
My head jerked up
I spied the glinting tail
With glee I jumped
Delight and joy
To witness such a sight
Etched in my mind
This streak of heaven
Straight across the darkened sky
Light in the dark
Dear Christ, would that light
Could shine so bright in me
