IF A STAR FELL If a star fell from the sky every time I thought of you the world would be so dark the night a deathly hue If a leaf fell from a tree every time I wished you near the forest would be bare a winter all the year If a wave stopped crashing in every time I saw your smile the shore would be so bleak a barren rocky pile If a song was never sung each time I ached for you the land would be so quiet pleasures would be few But none of this is so the world keeps turning round and though you're gone from sight by love we're always bound. Donna Ashworth, 'Loss'
