Heidi Wiggin - Shooting Star

Who is a shooting star?
Is he some one who rises far
Above the rest?
Who passes the popularity test?

What is a shooting star?
Is it a light in the sky thats very far?
Is it a firey ball
That seems to fall?

When is a shooting star
Not really that far?
Is it when a prayer gets heard
Or when a wish is answered?

Where is a shooting star?
Is it really, really far?
Or is it standing right next to you?
Would you believe it if that were true?

Why are there shooting stars?
To encourage us to reach for mars?
Are they to wish upon?
Or are they just dream cons?
