True
Whenever I see a shooting star,
Whizzing across the dark night sky.
I marvel at its beauty from afar,
And wonder what is it doing, and why?
Could the shooting star be a happy star,
Trying to turn cartwheels in the sky?
Or could it be just an adventurous star
That's decided to try and learn to fly?
Perhaps it's a star that's got bored of its place
High up in the crowded Milky Way.
Maybe that's why it's trying to race,
To find another galaxy in which to stay!
Or could a shooting star just be.
A lonely star in search of a friend who'll be true?
So perhaps if I get a shooting star to notice me-
I'll soon be whizzing through the Milky Way too
