He watched sparkling confetti
Dance across the sky
Leap graceful through the night
Fading softly out of sight
Smiled gently at the sparks
That were sure to leave a trace
Sending wishes up to space
His words, the stars embraced
He knew his wishes would be answered
And his family’d be safe
He knew tomorrow would be kind
Giving him some peace of mind
Enough to close his little eyes
And dream beneath the sky
Rebecca's Poetry
