Life has had it’s ups
and downs over the past fortnight … with rather more downs than ups. Three friends lives cut short … they will be missed
so very much. At a funeral yesterday one
song brought a tear to everyone’s eye (along with a smile) requested by one
very brave little six year old ...
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what
you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing
shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your
tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my
curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
'Till the sun is in the sky.
For you never shut your eye,
'Till the sun is in the sky.

What a lovely tribute with a nursery rhyme, I knew of two verses but didn't realise there were four.

How devastatingly tragic. My deepest sympathies. My grandma lost her husband and two sisters in three months. At the time I didn't think too much of it as I was only 9 years old but thinking of it now I wonder how she coped so well especially as the landlord of their farm tried to evict her saying she wasn't on the tenancy! Sometimes life is very hard.

My heart goes to you. xx
So sad, am really sorry. Lots of love to you!! xx
Oh Marina,
I am so very sorry to hear that you have lost three friends so very close together. I've often heard an old wives tale "deaths come in threes." My heart goes out to the brave little one who was able to look beyond his grief and pick a song from his little world that fits his circumstances. So very sad :(
Sending you well wishes my friend!
I am sorry again for your loss
.Anyone who has lost a friend, who had small kids, is impossible not to share a tear with this song...
Thank you for sharing all the verses to this song. I had no idea it was so much deeper than the common refrain. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Such sadness. My thoughts are with you.
Like a punch to the heart. I know it's hard.... HUGS and to the little stars.

Marina that's terribly sad - for you and for your friends' families. I feel for you and especially the child who requested Twinkle Twinkle. I'd forgotten the verse about, "..the traveller in the dark". How sweetly apposite. (Looking forward to meeting you again at the Frome Rag market, Cx)
Such a sad time your having, sending you much love.
I read about your loss;
and your pain, Marina, I'm so sorry.
You hug
Susy

Much love and good and supportive wishes.

So very sorry to hear and read of the loss in your life. I think many of us grow up with twinkle twinkle little star but i didn't realise there were another 2 verses. Such beautiful and thoughtful words, dee x
Hugs to you...
What a brave little soldier and a beautiful song. Sending love to you Marina.xx
Trying to catch up with blogs and I read this. Sorry to hear of your sad news, it must be a very difficult time for you. Kx
