Stars

I look to the sky at night and admire the beauty of the stars
I stand in awe of their brilliance
They are as shining and constant
and they have been since the beginning of time.
They light the heavens and fill our hearts with wonder
When one burns out, another takes its place
for they are eternal
Wherever you are they guide you from their home high above the earth
At times they seem close enough to touch
as they transport your dreams far away
Their magic compels us to offer up wishes for their consideration
they make us realize that even when the sky is the darkest
a tiny beacon of light still shines through
They are God's reminder to us that some things really do go on forever
In spite of all this we never think to look up
