The First Star in the Sky

That brightest star in the sky
Is the one I gaze upon
It tells me what is nigh
As soon comes the dusk or dawn

Below it I stand and dream
Of my future and my past
Of things that are unseen
But so precious that they last

The first is of God above
Of where I've come and I'll go
And of all those whom I love
Who at present do not show

Those to welcome to our home
Those who have long passed away
And those lost who now do roam
Are whom I think upon today

And when the nights are cold
And the days are so short
I watch that star so bold
And long for its retort

If it could grant one wish
I'd say as quick as a wink
To each question that I ask
Please answer with a blink

One flash for yes, two for no
And if I ever lose my way
Might it fall where I'm to go
And come back the next day
