Twinkling stars light my way
Then the rising sun, a new day
A beautiful dove guides me
As sky blends with the sea
Day brings its treasure
I am happy beyond measure
Butterflies float on colored wings
Birds twitter and my heart sings
I feel the touch of Master’s love
As He watches from above
Through boundless time I fly
With stars and moon on high
I am happy within my soul
With Buddha’s love I feel whole
I fear not this place of light
Embraced by love day and night
Mother I miss you, dry your tears
Father hold her relieve her fears
For I am not alone within my heart
Let’s smile together, never part
*chorus* to be sung at intervals throughout the song
Buddha, welcome me
To your bosom safe and warm
Show me Heaven’s treasures
Keep me free from harm

This is a revised version of Jonny's Song, Through The Heavens which I posted earlier. Jonny is a little four year old Chinese boy who died tragicly. This is Jonny's song for his parents. You can see the original at:

This Is Beautiful
What a beautiful poem. It rhymed so nicely and was very musical in the rythem in which I was reading this poem. So precious of a write, for such a sad trajedy that light did shine for this Chinese boy. I loved it very much and I remember the other one as well. Thank you for sharing your gift to write poetry with beat and rythem in it which is made into a song. Just lovely!
Blessings

Did I read the original? I'll go see, doesn't sound familiar, but my memory is shot anyway.
So much sadness in the world, and I know, your poem is written to re-affirm and give hope, but I still can't help but see it as an end...but I'm glad others have a strong faith, it would be comforting to have that myself.

This is a beautiful song for Jonny. It touched my heart even before I read the author's note.

Very Nice
Very well done, and i like it. I have a similar piece about tragedy the person was older though. It was very moving and I enjoyed the flow of it. Well Done!

Thank you for reading and your kind comment, Karl. Perhaps you'll take a look at the original lyrics, too. Longer, but needed to shorten them a bit. This is a song that a musician and I are working on and may possibly turn into a recording. Still some work needed though I think
