Poem: Shooting Star

I'm sure I saw a shooting star

This morning to the West

I made a wish for excellence

That I could do my best

I closed my eyes and dreamed

A dream of Hope and inspiration

Prayed a prayer of safety for

The children of our nation

The shooting star burned bright

And fast like life upon this Earth

I stood a while in darkness and

Pondered on the worth

Of lives well-lived and voices heard

And hearts both brave and strong;

Gave thanks for those courageous ones

Who work to right the wrong

I'm sure I saw a shooting star

That arced across the sky

And left behind a rune of Hope

No need to question why
