The Shooting Star



Looking out of the darkness night above the sky
I am witnessing the sparkling bright star
that had caught to my eyes
With fondest memory has filled me
to the search for the curiosity to this universe
Who is to create this shooting star
Mother Nature or me?
With the sign I often read
Can that be me
With the dream to come true
Or it is far beyond the wildest expectation
Determination has instilled me
To continue to carry on
Yes, someday
I can reach to that star
and become like that brilliant one
hanging far beyond the galaxy space
to take on of my own destination
to fulfill my own request
Never care to give up
To keep on moving despite
when the world is stop turning
Only to make the best out of it
And to live life to the fullest
Without any regret
That shooting star will be mine
Someday  I promise, indeed it will
Because I am aim to be one
