A Fallen Star

Are fallen stars beautiful?
It is like what someone once said,
A star's shining beauty,
Never seems to end.
Do they stand up once more,
And reach up for the heavens above?
Or do they stay and suffer,
With no one to hold or love?
I will be that someone,
That helps them reach for home,
I will be that someone,
Who never leaves them alone.
I love to help the stars,
I am after no reward,
My kindness is free,
But I am no fraud.
But the real reason I help,
It's not just the beauty and compassion too,
It's because that beautiful star,
Is really you...
