Stars


Close your eyes

Feel the air around you, the clothes against you, 

The stars above you 

 

Take a breath

Feel the oxygen fill your lungs, your heart beat

The stars above you 

 

Those stars have watched and waited, nurturing and twinkling smiles down at you

to keep pushing

keep smiling

keep breathing

 

The stars shine for you every night and they shine a little brighter

seeing you grow and walk and run

The stars admire you and kiss your skin as you live, 

breathe

smile

laugh 

 

Fill the night sky with laughter

and live

so that the stars can shine brighter

 

The stars shine for you
