I looked up at a star one day
and looked it in the eye
where did you come from
I had to say
before you radiated beauty in the sky?
***
She laughed a bit and blushed some too
with a grin she took my hand
She said
I’ll show you around a bit
show you how I was planned
***
We sailed across the cosmic waves
sorrow left behind
saw untold beauty
as we journeyed
far and wide
***
We danced and sang
with stars we played
followed comets
in their trail
turned planets on their spindles
and drank the milky way
***
She said let me show you why you’ve come
her point was clear and strong
for as I gazed
I was amazed
it was you and I all along
***
At that moment when our eyes first touched
and sparks flew in the night
they gathered
into one strong burst
before they took to flight
***
she laughed and said “it was great love
that put me in the sky”
she hugged me much
a giggle too
and then she said “goodbye”

Dear reader you must forgive me. I am in withdrawals. I havent written a story for children in too long so here is my romantic spirit and my writing for children merging.
Also … Check out Dancing in Shadow a One Stop duet I had the honor of writing with Sean Vessey.
