The Star That Fell

It seems to me a star just fell
The moment I was born.
Early November, 8 o'clock,
It left me not forlorn.
It guided me into this life
And watched my every move,
No matter how much trouble,
For what was there to prove?
It sat with me through everything,
From love to them exams.
It brought me up to be like me,
Just the way I am.
The star could only have guessed at it,
For I could never tell
How much II really appreciated
This star I knew so well.
But when I look into its face,
I was surprised to see
It wasn't only a star but so much
More looking back at me.
It was a gift I call my mother,
All my worries were undone,
For that is when I realised
That my star fell in '61.
