A Little Star

A little star in the timid sky
Among the stars it rattled in the heart
Seeing in my dreams the star smiles,
My heart wanted her to shine my world......

Saw many a star before
Nothing glittered more
Seeing this little star,
My heart wanted her to shine my world......

One day in the timid sky
Saw a star falling down
Seeing the star falling down,
Made an eternal wish -"The little star should shine my world......"

After that,
Waited for the little star to come to the waiting sky
But,
It never appeared again....!
