I COLLECTED STARS by Joanne Boyle

"I COLLECTED STARS"
by Joanne Boyle

I collected stars.

but I had to choose just one.

I was looking for a Daddy

I had been looking for so long.

You see I was particular

and daddy's were all around.

But I knew that mine would be

the brightest star I found.

Every day before I was born.

I was asked where I wanted to go.

I kept on askinv the good lord,

"How will I really know?"

He told me that I'd know

and that I would make the right choice.

He told me to listen

as each star had a voice.

He said that I would recognise

where I do belong.

To the dad who'd be there

and teach me to be strong.

He told me he would guide me.

He would be my shining light.

He said that he'd protect me.

Be there both day and night.

I looked at all my stars.

Some just weren't right for me.

Then there it was, I could tell.

It shone so brightly.

God told me I would forget

when the Stork came to call.

But daddy I remember

I chose the best dad of all.
