A Magical Star

In a world where dreams come true, A story I share, so lovely and true. A little girl named Lily, just five you see, With a heart full of love and curiosity. One night, she gazed up at the sky so bright, Wishing to hold her mom so tight. Her mama had left, gone far away, But Lily longed to see her, even for a day.

In a world where dreams come true,
A story I share, so lovely and true.
A little girl named Lily, just five you see,
With a heart full of love and curiosity. One night, she gazed up at the sky so bright,
Wishing to hold her mom so tight.
Her mama had left, gone far away,
But Lily longed to see her, even for a day.

With a twinkle in her eyes so blue, A magical star appeared in the view. It whispered, "Lily, I can help you see, Back in time, where your mama used to be." Lily hopped on the star, without much delay, They soared through space, far, far away. To a place long ago, where memories reside, A time when her mama was by her side.

With a twinkle in her eyes so blue,
A magical star appeared in the view.
It whispered, "Lily, I can help you see,
Back in time, where your mama used to be." Lily hopped on the star, without much delay,
They soared through space, far, far away.
To a place long ago, where memories reside,
A time when her mama was by her side.

They landed in a garden all filled with flowers, A place where mama spent happy hours. Lily felt her heart shimmer and glow, As mama's love began to overflow. She touched mama's picture, hung on the wall, Her tiny fingers gently tracing, not feeling small. And suddenly, something truly wonderful occurred, The picture became alive, mama's voice she heard.

"Mama, oh mama," little Lily cried, "I've missed you so much, my heart feels tied." Mama's eyes sparkled with tears of love, "Dear Lily, I watch you from above." "Empathy, my darling, is what I want you to know, To understand others, wherever you may go. Feel their sorrows, their joys, and their fears, Support their dreams, wipe away their tears."

Through empathy's power, Lily now perceived, That helping others is how she'd truly achieve, A world filled with love, warmth, and delight, Where no hearts were heavy, no spirits took flight. With a gentle hug, mama whispered goodbye, Back to the present, they couldn't deny. But love, forever embedded in Lily's heart, She knew they were never truly apart.

So, little ones, remember this tale so sweet, To spread empathy, with every new feat. For together we'll create a world so grand, Where love and understanding always stand.
