The Stars You Have Called Home ✨

The stars have called you home, love.

Up high, so far away.

I think they missed your brilliance,

they just couldn’t let you stay.

You’ve shone that light of yours, love.

on all the lives you touched.

We’ve known your joy for years and years,

I guess they thought ‘enough’.

They need your light up there now.

This world grows ever dark.

Your passion will rain down like love,

dripped into every heart.

The stars have called you home, now

we’ll miss you, every day.

And every night we’ll scour the skies,

to watch you, where you lay.

And when dark clouds are gathering,

and air’s too cold to breathe.

The life you lived will warm our bones,

and your star will help us see.
