I wrote this in December, but i was reading through my old journals and i found this and so i wanted to share it. It is one of the few poems that i have written and that i have shared, that is about the way i feel. I wrote this the night i saw my first ever shotting star. I was so amazing.

Stars

Sparkling, shining
I look to the sky
The site of the stars
Makes my heart cry

My head doesn’t get it
But my heart understands
Something out there is bigger
The creator of man

How big He must be
To make each of those stars
Yet how loving and kind
To heal each of my scars

He sees the whole world
He sees future and past
And watches over it all
The little and vast

And yet here I sit
So tiny and small
Yet to Him I’m precious
A porcelain doll

Stars shine so bright
As I look to the sky
The magnificent site
Makes my heart cry

Yet He still sees me
And each little tear
His hand reaches out
To calm my fear

Peace washes over
Love fills my heart
A loving Father
Grants a new start

Over and over
He calms the sea
Yet He still cares enough
To calm the storm in me

I can certainly understand your being inspired by such an awesome sight as a shooting star. There is definitely something most awe-inspiring and, yet, that makes one feel quite insignificant and small when looking up at the stars and the vastness and complexity of God's creation... and it's equally amazing, to me anyway, that even within that vastness and complexity of the universe, God still understands and knows everything about us. WOW! Anyway, you wrote a Great poem about the Power of God and the Awesomeness of His creation.

Thanks for sharing and God bless,
-Bob

It seems impossible to gaze at the stars and not think of our Creator. I like this work you've posted. Looking forward to more.

I must agree with my two friends above, as it is simply impossible not to feel extremely small in this world when you look "up." Nicely done.

I found this to be such an inspiring piece. It truly does remind us of just how small we are in the grande scheme of things. I am so pleased, that you chose to share this lovely write with us.

I, too, am always amazed by the night sky and have witnessed many shooting stars and even a meteoroid landing in the distance.
