A star that shines so brightly, an time will never fade,
again shines her light, in the little town where she played.
Roots that run so deeply, loving memories from the past,
did the wind just whisper, shes finally home at last.
Though here but for a moment, let your heart open wide,
to another place and time, where a little girl laughed and cried.
Embrace this little town, its been built with joys and tears,
walk the footsteps of your Ancestors, though they've been gone for years.
A Grandmothers love ever present, your Guardian Angel up above,
she knows the message that you send, is signed with all your love.
So look up into the Heavens, an tug your left ear to say hello,
from here somehow shes closer, than anywhere you'll go.
Family history traced to Belleville, just a little spot on the map,
where you were just a Babe, sitting upon your Grandmothers lap.
As you follow up the research, and make a dying wish come true,
your Carries found her Ancestors, an shes smiling down on you.
From your Ancestorial Heritage, through your Stately Family tree,
you've become a Superstar, for the whole wide world to see.
But here on this weekend, your a loving Mother shining thru,
what Star could shine more brightly, than the loving side of you.
