Reach a Star
I wrote this in about 5 minutes during a class lol.. something that was simply on my mind and I had to get it on paper ASAP. How do you reach a star? Do you stand on your toes? Do you jump up and down and stretch far as you go? Do you travel farther than a man's ever been or invent a device that will take you to it? Should I run and just run 'til I can't anymore? Should I holler and yell 'til my throat gets too sore? Maybe setting a trap will sort of coax it down or if I shoot an arrow it'll hit the ground. ...would it make a sound? Smoke signal, morse code, or a carrier pigeon: some words from my heart might make it come on in If I sit and stare at it for awhile it'll twinkle at me. That always makes me smile. Well.. what if I simply asked it to come down? I'd hold it and value it as though it's LIFE Through all of that work, and all of that strife I went through to get you, no I'd never let you believe for a second that I'd ever forget you ...
