Inspired by lyrics to “Closer than You Think” – Sue Riley, Glen Roethel & Melinda Wood Allen:“When all your dreams are hooked on a shooting star
And the star falls down, remember how great you are.
You are the guiding star you need….
Your day in the sun, the moment seems lost in time,
When the sun sinks low, remember how bright you shine.
You are the only light you need….
The road is long, and you feel weary.
Take one more step, you are nearly home.
Shadows of time, love that has passed you by
And your hope runs out. Give it just one more try.
Love may be closer than you think.
Don’t stop now. You’re closer than you think.
