Hello Star, please come with me
My name is Arthur, you’re safe and free
There’s a gazillion things to see and do
And loads of kids like me and you.
There’s loads of toys in the room up there
And these stairways lead to who knows where
The people that hurt you won’t touch you now
You will recover… we both will, somehow.
The ocean here is always blue
And if you look up high, there’s rainbows too
You’ll meet lots of family you didn’t know
But they’ll keep you safe with love they show.
As for Christmas, well, that’s special here
Angels and carols, you’ll see and hear
There’s other kids that you’ll get to meet
And no-one knocks you off your feet.
Up here, it’s happy every day
There’s a rainbow bridge with dogs, to play
There’s so many animals they all run free
No fear of hunting or cruelty to see.
Come with me, you’ve family to find
Then you can gently sleep as your soul unwinds
Now take my hand you’re safe little Star
With your special name you’ll shine from afar.

RIP little Star xx
