You didn't think I saw you
wishing on a star
looking to the heavens
drifting from afar.
Hands around a locket
held close to your chest.
Time lost with the moment
for you were truly blessed.
Moonlight on the water
reflections from the sky.
Stars that twinkle brightly
as the clouds drift by.
Gentle breezes in the air
your hair danced with the wind.
You looked down at the locket
then looked back up again.
I watched you slowly close your eyes
and say a little prayer.
Suddenly you were gone
and I was standing there.
Hands around a locket
held close to my chest.
Memories of a lifetime
yes, I'm the one who's blessed.
