When stars on earth die
They're reborn stars in heavens sky
Their deeds and charities abode
In hearts and minds, they are bestowed
Each year the unexpected go
Someway, somehow, we're dealt a blow
Somebody's idol, someone's friend
Who met a short and tragic end
We take with us the love they gave
We walk the roads that they first paved
The inspiration from them, drawn
Gives us the power to walk on
In life, we come to know of pain
Making sacred, things we gain
Our eyes will see their share of wonder
And hopeful dreams that fade asunder
For now let's look around, sublime
And cherish people in our time
A reminder for us all to always be gracious and grateful for the people still in our lives. Thanks for the share......

Thanks, yes... this is yet another year with some very tragic losses and we're getting ready to step through the portal to get us to the next one. It's sad to just think of the people who impact our lives so much, who won't be coming with us this time. It's hard to think about that kind of stuff, but what we can do is live with as much conviction as they had, become stars ourselves, and do the same for others around us.
