The Changing World Below the Stars
I looked out my window and up at the sky.
I saw the stars gleaming in the night.
I looked carefully among the stars to find the different constellations,
and I was able to point out the big dipper without hesitation.
I never forgot to look up at the stars.
Each clear night I watched them dance in the night sky.
There were more stars than I could count and see,
but they were always glowing so bright above me.
As time passed, and years flew by,
I realized that some things change, people change, I changed.
But through all those years and nights when I looked up at the sky,
I saw those same beautiful stars that always caught my eye.
Those stars in the sky,
they never changed.
They never seemed to switch places, never stop dancing, never fade.
And I know,
years from now
when I look out my window and up at the sky,
the beauty and wonder of the shining stars
will never pass me by.
