Analysis of Stars of the body



He told his little girl that every little part of her was made of stars that shon so bright you couldn't even see them.
Then he pulled one from her cheek and said, but if you look closely with your minds eye you can look at them and even follow the stars back to daddy if you get lost, so there's no need to be afraid, not even of the dark, because even in the dark you are walking on stars.
The little girl closed her eyes and saw no stars and so she opened them again and all of a sudden she saw her bunny rabbit which had gotten lost not so long ago and she began to follow it, holding her fathers hand she cried I see snowball.
No baby her father said. Then he took some flowers and gave them to her. And she knew snowball was only a spirit because they were her mother's funeral flowers but she tried to feed Snowball a flower but he would not eat.
I don't understand daddy, she said. Where is Mummy.
Mummy is a star now, he said, and Snowball does not eat flowers anymore, they only eats love hearts.  But he wants you to put the flowers near Mummy's body to show that she is remembered.
She said, one day even the flowers will be love hearts daddy, then Snowball can eat them while they're walking on the stars.
