Starlight

Have you ever wondered, 
what life would be like, 
if the stars were extinguished, 
and gave no more light.

The night sky would fail, 
to wonder and excite, 
my heart would pale, 
and sadness I'd fight.

With no more night wonder, 
to light up my life, 
my mind torn asunder, 
and mired in strife.

So thanks to the stars, 
that still burn so bright, 
their light has traveled so far, 
to brighten my night.
