Just Like a Shooting Star

What do shooting stars and a man's life have in common?

One bright evening, as I gaze the sky
Suddenly, a shooting star appears
A bright thing to behold up high
Racing across the sky and then disappear.

There are times in the evening
I find myself outside my door standing
My head up high looking at heavenly things
For stars that are brightly shining.

Their glory keeps me marveling
And the nature of all things
The sparking joy they are giving
But sweet sadness, its death brings.

Will our life's journey go unnoticed
Like an alley in a dark night
Will we be a luminous guiding light,
Like a shooting star on it's last flight.

Lord, let me glitter that brightly
Just like moths entice to a flame
Bringing lost souls to Your mercy
And honoring Your holy name.

Hence, when my days are done
You may find my humble life
Like a shooting star that shines
As I journey my final flight.
