For My Natty Star

I thought I knew
better
this time
left my mind
behind
and jumped to you

All I can say
is that it was harder second time
lots of knocks and
tired
older sister
pushing you away
even when
she couldn't see you

you are my star
braver than us all
with a smile
lighting a sky in the night

we named you
for Christmas star

I was scared
until I saw your blonde, beautiful head
before I heard you

enchanted
to meet you
every day
your old man walk
hands behind your back
being Natty Star
