Twenty-eight years since the world spun its thread, Through seasons of silence where long words were shed. Two decades and seven, the distance was wide, Yet the spark of the promise had never quite died. Then came the calling, the bridge over time, A rhythm restored in a celestial rhyme. You arrived like the dawn after years in the dark, To rekindle the mission, to fan every spark. [Chorus] You are my collaborator, confidant, my light, Guiding my steps through the length of the night! "Star" was the name that you carried back then, And a Star you remain as we journey again! True North is the compass that guides us today, And your faith is the anchor that lights up the way! [Verse 2] When the weight of the estate or the burdens grew deep, You were the watchman who refused to sleep. The gaps were all filled by the grace in your hand, A pillar of strength where I needed to stand. A survivor of storms, with a heart for the broken, With dreams of a healing that remains yet unspoken. For God kept us standing through shadow and stone, To find that we never were walking alone. [Chorus] You are my collaborator, confidant, my light, Guiding my steps through the length of the night! "Star" was the name that you carried back then, And a Star you remain as we journey again! True North is the compass that guides us today, And your faith is the anchor that lights up the way! [Bridge] (Music swells into a powerful, emotional climax) So here is the honor, the truth, and the creed: You are the harvest from a long-buried seed! Brought back by design in the fullness of time, A soul made to stand in alignment with mine. Through seasons of waiting, the promise stayed true, And every dark valley was leading to you! [Chorus] You are my collaborator, confidant, my light, Guiding my steps through the length of the night! "Star" was the name that you carried back then, And a Star you remain as we journey again! True North is the compass that guides us today, And your faith is the anchor that lights up the way! [Outro] For Marilyn... my collaborator... My confidant... my light. God kept us standing through shadow and stone... Never walking alone. My Star... My True North. (Soft instrumentals fade out)
