Like the shining star from which you
took your name
You were a shining warmth within my
life
You brought the light of joy into
each heart you touched
And are remembered fondly by each
soul who's life was brushed
By even just your smile, and your
laughing joyful eyes
You asked us each in memory not to
shed a tear
And so instead of weeping I share my
greiving here
I know my precious "ya ya" that you
still hold my hand
And If you were still here you would
approve and understand
In my heart forever you shall live
For every time I see your picture on
the wall
Or some good advice that you gave me
I recall
I pause and wonder if the universe
will ever truly know
How fortunate they are that we ever
let you go
To shine among the stars where you
belong
