Tonight, under this star-lit sky
We grieve,
as you leave
To take your place in our history.
|
Each day you spent with us
Are like droplets of mercury,
that come together
in a crucible of shared memory.
|
You go, and as you depart,
you carry within you a part
of what is the best in you,
and what was once the best in us.
|
You came to us like raw meteorites,
Heaven-sent, children from the sky.
We burnished you,
We polished you
And now return you there,
as stars,
our firmament to beautify.
