Stars I Trust - Allison Case

Dear tiny dots of twinkling light

It’s time for me to say goodnight

There’s so much madness in this world

But I feel safe cause I’m aware

You are up there

I trust stars, high in the skies

I trust stars, ancient and wise

I’m made from your dust!

Stars I trust

Goodnight, you South Dakota stars!

Beyond the Moon, the Earth, and Mars

Look, there’s a lion, and Orion

Snake and Dragon

Could there be stars that make me?

I trust stars, are never gone

I trust stars, always live on

I’m made from your dust!

Stars I trust

And sure, some folks will say

That all of this is hay

It’s just a smoky-eyed romantic notion so I’ll feel okay

But they cannot deny

No matter how they try

That it’s a fact, we’re all connected

From the grass up to the sky

I have my memories to do with as I please

I know I always can recall that starry perfect night in Fall

When you stood underneath this tree

And promised you would always be

With me

I trust you’re here with me
