A Star In the Sky

     I stand high above the Earth and other planets. My light shines bright for all to see. But how many people actually look at me? I mean actually look at me? They take me for granted and they could care less if I burnt out because there are other stars. Some people point at me with their children and say "What a pretty star." Am I really 'pretty' as they say? My light sparkles and twinkles but it can't add up to the beauty of the stars next to me. I look down on the Earth sometimes and wonder if I have the best view but then, over time, the Earth spins and I feel somewhat relieved. When the sun is done showing off all of its glory, I come out along with my fellow stars and the moon. Just like the sun, the moon likes to shine brightly and show that it's bigger than us stars which, therefore, makes him better. Some say that I'm yellow, some say I'm white. Can't they all just agree on one color? Is everyone blind? So many questions....

I'm just a star you see at night,

forgive me if I shine too bright.

I am but a star, you see,

and this is all I can be.

I don't know why but I LOVE this! It is one of my favorites. My favorite is the ending. :) I hope you liked it as much as I did!

If a star is what you are then be the best star you can be. I always heard we are all part of a body and if you are a little toe be the best little toe you can. No matter what ... just do your very best. This was definitely a best too! Keep on penning.

I like the conciseness of the story. It's simple and easy to follow. Good work
