the dog star ★


The first star in the sky tonight
a star's light ...
is always on
the brightest one
I see tonight

I will name for you

A clear light in the southern sky
is there for us...
until the dawn
to catch the twinkle in your eye,
for us to wish upon

Though our paths may part as the years go by
as near and far we wander
I will look for the light in the southern sky
and I'll know where you are

My first star, always in my heart
ever constant,
never gone
Stella, shine for me tonight
you'll always be the brightest star

I still look back and read this from time to time. Your brought a new perspective of the stars to me. I truly do think of Riley, as you do Stella, every night when I see that star. Thank you <3
