The Star Child

  They never told me he was a star child

  that morning when I sang my newborn songs

  I didn't know that he was different

  when I bought him home 5 million years ago

  I raised him 2 long years before I realised

  saw in his eyes, that he was different

 I always wondered how I would treat a starchild

  whether I would have the strength to raise a child like this

The star child dances through his rainbow hours

  to a melody we have yet to understand

 

  His eyes so grey, and so unyeilding

  reflect the joy and innocence he hides within

  At times I envy my little starchild

  and want to share the magic that he owns

 

  but then I weep, want to shelter him from the future

  protect him from the storms, that will surely come his way

 For now, the starchild lives safe within our fortress

  no hand can harm him, while we live and breathe

  but years from now, when blossoms fall on our headstones

 our gentle starchild will have to find his way alone

 

  They never told me I would bear a starchild

  he came so softly, no one heard his steps

  and in the softlight as I watch him sleeping

  I pray for all the mothers so keenly blessed
