Stars of Heaven

Stars of Heaven

Stars of heaven, grant me my wish
Let the world be smaller
Let fate be as so
For when our world turns into a little one
Chances of this would grow:
My friends, those whom I cherish—
I’d meet them again, without much wait
Over and over again, without involving
The dearest little patience I hold on to.

Stars of heaven, hear my plea
Knot all roads of life together,
Tangle them as balls of yarn.
Over another and another below,
Crossing another, and another, across
For if ends meet,
If roads open themselves to another,
With welcoming floor mats littered
Upon the blessed grounds,
Friends will meet, families won’t die
Together, traversing life of mild drizzles
Embracing the sun’s warmth as one.

Stars of heaven, to the heavens I pray
May fate be kind to me; hearing the music
Of my pleading heart
Of my mumbling soul
To you I pray, with knees pressed down to earth
May you carry me over to the future,
To the lives I long to be a part of;
May our meeting never cease
Oh—I am to miss them so!
I am now to be away, may it not be long.
I shall, I will, I must!
Live my time equipping
For a journey back home.

My friends,
Do wait for me,
For I believe and am sure of—
We are to meet again.
