Shine like a star, shine on through the darkness...

Wherever you are now, just know I still love you, Mom...

Shine like a star, way up there in Heaven...

Though I know where you've gone, just know I still miss you, Mom...

Shine like a star, shine brighter than sunshine...

You gave me my life, and raised me with kindness...

Though our lives here are hard, your love keeps me going...

Though your body's now ash, your soul shines forever on...

Shining like a star on my darkest of days, through my tears and my pain, making all those memories, all those memories...

Shine brighter than the stars in the sky...

You're my life's guiding light, I love you, Mom...

Shine like a star, shine on through the darkness...

Wherever you are now, just know that I'm sorry, Friend...

Shine like a star, way up there in Heaven...

Though I know where you've gone, just know I still miss you, Friend...

Shine like a star, shine bright like an angel...

Your words gave me hope, and inspired me to free myself...

You gave good advice, on my real life and Pokémon...

Though you're no longer here, your soul shines forever on...

Shining like a star on our darkest of days, through your years here on Paint, making all those memories, all those memories...

Shine brighter than the stars in the sky...

'Cause you brightened our lives, we miss you, Friend...

This lyrics blog was written in loving memory of both my mother (who passed away in May of last year) and my "master", veteran Paint member and Overlord Angela AKA Star Shadow, who just passed away a few days ago.

I chose the yellow rose image for the first part of this blog (the part dedicated to my mom) because yellow was her favorite color and yellow roses were her favorite flower, whereas the 2nd image (Angela's AWESOME drawing of Palkia) was chosen because that was the image that Angela was using as her PFP when I first met her here on Paint back in 2019.

Angela has drawn lots of REALLY cool drawings (especially of Pokémon) like that one during her time her on Paint, and she's also written lots of REALLY cool blogs here, and while she might not be here anymore, she has left quite the impressive legacy behind, and I encourage y'all to go check it out.

Here are a few of my personal favorites:
