Stars

In the depths of the blackest of skies,
I find the brightest of stars...
Shining proudly in its darkest moments,
Always there to warm my heart.
When night falls upon the heavens,
Tears may reach my eyes...
Wondering what tomorrow will bring,
Knowing another day has passed me by.
The past may often haunt me,
Making my future seem so far and bleak...
But if I only find the strength to look up,
The stars will bring comfort and peace.
The millions that burn above,
Are reminders of those that live so far away...
They, too, know the skies I see,
And they, too, know they'll stay.
Each luminous beauty,
Glows with a magnificence so bright...
As I reminisce of my closest friends,
Always there when I'm searching for light.
Those that bring me comfort,
Aren't always there for me to see...
But, just as the stars awake each evening,
I know... they'll come back for me.
