"In one of those stars, I shall be living.

In one of them, I shall be laughing.

And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night.

And when your sorrow is comforted,

(Time soothes all sorrows)

You will be content that you, have known me.

You will always be my friend.

I shall not leave you.

-Antoine De Saint-Exupery
