Mark of the Greater Sky

by: Mel Martinez

Do you know what happens when stars lose their glow? No, they don't die.

They just disappear into the dark sky. Or at least that's what I believe.

And last night I think another one of the stars in the sky disappeared.
So to replace it, Heaven must take one from the Earth.




And Heaven chose Mark. It chose Mark so that the sky could be as bright as ever.
It chose Mark so that we can look up and think that even in the end,
Mark continues to shine and make us smile.

If we choose to believe, Mark is not truly gone.
He will live as long as we let him stay in our hearts.
As long as we remember him, his smile, his voice, and his certain ways of making us feel loved.

If we choose to believe, Mark can be not dead.
He is up there giving us light as we walk through the dark hours.

If we choose to believe, Mark did not die.
Another star has just been added to the sky.
