Liner Notes:

Sometimes courage is about what you do to over come challenges. It's not all happy and sometimes the outcomes aren't what you wish for... it takes a lot of courage to accept those and move on.

Lyrics:

Star light star bright, first star I see tonight. May I please have this wish...

I wish my mama will be there. Graduation's a pretty big deal. I'm making my big speech and everything. I know she'll be so proud. I know she's doing everything, she can possibly do.

Star light star bright, first star I see tonight. May I please have this wish...

It's only three more weeks away, but I can feel my mama slip. It's not fair, she's only 45. She just can't leave me and dad behind. What am I gonna do without her? Please just let her stay.

Star light star bright, first star I see tonight. May I please have this wish...

It's graduation day, when I come into my mama's room. Daddy's frantic and grandma's beside herself. There's nothing I can do. My mama tells me to go to graduation, she says she thinks she'll be strong. But I stay and hold her hand as cancer takes her from me.

Star light star bright, first star I see tonight. May I please have this wish...

I wish for my mama's strength. I need some help to make it through this.

This is a very sad song! But you were able to capture that emotion and put it in very well. Clear vocals and a nice guitar sound. Great job!

There are songs that bring out emotions and this is one of them. Perfect vocals and the guitar adds just the right feel. Nicely done.

Bought a tear or two.
Not autobiographical I hope
If so, Strength be unto you

That is so sad and heartfelt. Is it about your present situation? Wish you and your family all the strength you need...
