The Stars in the Sky
By Tim van der Meij (aka KBABZ)

How can I buy
All the Stars in the Sky?
When the prettiest one
Is standing right before my eyes?

Her hair was of
A golden curtain
And her eyes were her favourite shade
Of Star Blue Lines

She would much rather stay in a place
Where everyone will arrive
As opposed to a land
Where everyone will leave

No troubles will burden her now
She is with one that she loves
We will all meet her soon, so take comfort
In that we will not be apart from her forever

She had her own little legacy
And her life and soul touched many
Whether it was nearby with pets and schoolpatrons
Or in far off places like Manchester or Wellington

Her poetry and artwork spoke of how she felt
Worthless, inconsiderable and full of despair
But everyone knew that she was worth all the wealth of the world
If for but the chance to meet and console with her

She lived her own life, didn’t take notice of social bounds
And should be commended so, for she was very brave
Strong willed and would never budge from her own beliefs

She will be dearly missed
And life will be hard without her smile
But comfort can be taken in that we all
Made her feel that life was worthwhile,
If only for a time

The prettiest Star
Right before my eyes
Is worth far more
Than all those in the Sky

I hope you like it. I'll miss you Star, but I know you're always with me when I think about you.

That I could speak to her,
In a way
And sadness turned to comfort
We all go there

You're welcome. It's touching for me to think that I made that in about 20 minutes, and it brought a member of another forum member to tears when he read it (he knew beforehand a little bit about her).

It's a lovely and positive tribute.
Another thing that will remind me of Starbuline is that I've recently started learning Russian,one
of her favourite subjects.She'll be missed more than she realised.
