STAR STUFF
Long ago, in the depths of space,
a smile was born for every face.
A once-bright Sun was deeply torn,
and from its heart our souls were born.
The glory of a distant star
shines clear when we know who we are.
Its power yet peers through our eyes
when we look up at tender skies.
And seething mass inside its core
burns in our thoughts and dreams once more.
We love the stars because we know
we came from one so long ago.
