Oh don't change, ever
No don't change
There's a hollow in this house whenever you go

Please promise me, you'll take the time to teach
Your intelligent, beautiful children
The importance of loving themselves more than anyone else.

Remind them, that they are the sun
In their solar systems.

Remind them its important to share,
to give life to the earth from their rays

But remind them it is important to love themselves too,
To let the moon take center stage
So that they can hide away,
and learn more about themselves.

Promise me you'll tell your kids,
That they'll meet someone so magnificent,
Who shoots across the sky, glittering and bright
That this comet of a person, as dazzling as they appear

Will only stay for a short while.
Tell them its okay to remember this comet of a person,
To think of them fondly,

But remind those intelligent, beautiful children
That they cannot dwell on the past,

Ignoring all the beautiful planets that stick close to them,
That want to love them for who they are,
And never ask them to change the way they make space shine.

Remind your kids that love comes and love goes,
Friendships fade, much like stars that burn up all of their light,
That its okay, to grieve these losses

Some of these losses will shake them to their core,
Leave a new type of burning sensation that they never knew

Remind your kids that its okay to hurt from the loss of comet like people,
But time heals all wounds,
And as beautiful as those comet people are,

Your child, so beautifully intelligent,
is the sun, what gives life to so much,
and provides home, and a beacon calling planets, and moons, and the rings of Saturn home.

You are the sun.
You give life.
You are so intelligent, so beautiful,
You are strong, so resilient,
Please, oh please, stop being so afraid.

Let yourself feel love,
Share that love and breathe new life into things you've only allowed yourself to dream of.

You are so much more than those comets,
That glittered across your night sky.

They've left, and they're gone,
But you're here, carrying on,
And its time to fall in love again,
And its time to show your friends you love them again,

You intelligent, beautiful sun of a child.
