I look up to the stars

To find solace in my dreams

I’ve dreamed of you

Dreamed of you for years

I couldn’t wait to meet you

I couldn’t wait to see what you looked like

To see if you had my hair

My eyes

My laugh

My smile

Would you have been tall like me?

Would you have been shy?

Or a social butterfly?

I couldn’t wait to hear you say “mama”

Your first day of school

And your last day of school

What would you have become?

I couldn’t wait to see what you loved

Would you have found comfort in the night sky like I do?

Since I cannot meet you in this lifetime

I will look to the stars to find comfort

And I will hold you in my dreams

Until we can meet in the stars
