"SHINE"
by Becky Hemsley
by Becky Hemsley
Yesterday she told you
She’d been beckoned by the moon
That she was to become a star
And would be leaving soon
You felt your heart collapse
Knowing that the days ahead
Would soon become her last
But mop up all your tears
And squeeze them out amongst the clouds
Buy her favourite flower seeds
And plant them in the ground
Savour every smile of hers
And send them to the sun
Paint the sky her favourite pink
As day has just begun
Gather all the words she says
And teach the birds her song
So that the world still speaks of her
Even when she’s gone
So when the sun comes up
You’ll know it’s her that’s smiling down
And when it rains you’ll feel her love
Escaping from the clouds
Watch her flowers flourish
And listen to the birds
And hear them sing the echoes
Of her voice and of her words
Look for her in sunrises
In thunderstorms and snow
Because she’s trying to tell you
She’ll be everywhere you go
And when it’s dark, look for the stars
And see the way she shines
And realise, though she’ll leave
She’ll never really say goodbye
