Asteria
Every day Asteria tends her quail
A hundred years and she's still not frail
Generations of lonely children
They come to her sick and pale
But like magic she heals them without fail
Some call her a witch
A myth and a hoax
But really she's a hippie at most
Every night Asteria gazes up at the stars
Out here in the country an escape from the cars
A millenium without love
But from lonely she is far
Every night she looks up and picks a star
And as she lays to down to sleep
She weaves dreams for all the children to see
A little world happy and free
A perfect world for you and me
