The stars all said we’re yours tonight, so I looked and I saw A vastness I could not compare to what I’d seen before It was somehow overwhelming and it made me feel so small The view was something special that for years I will recall It made me feel so little, so minute to what was there While all that I could really do was look at it and stare And wonder of the vastness that in time I’ll never see But through imaginations eye and thinking of to be I looked at all the shinning stars; the watchers of the night Showing way to folk like me who ponder life and right To twinkle as to somehow be the jewel I’d love to touch Amazing how things far away attract you all so much They somehow give us messages that yet we cannot read A picture code of master plan that one day we will need And though I stare with patience the secret I can’t see For it must not yet be the time, to see what is to be So though the stars are mine tonight, all I do is stare In wonderment, in silent awe, of all that lies out there And I feel enchanted while I share way up above Toward where I am praying and where lives eternal love |

"So though the stars are mine tonight, all I do is stare In wonderment, in silent awe, of all that lies out there And I feel enchanted while I share way up above Toward where I am praying and where lives eternal love" This write really touched me Rick.. We are indeed so small compared to all the wonders of the universe. Some of which we have not even imagined. This brought tears... tears of grateful appreciation for all He has given us. Heart hugs go out to you tonight~Nancy ~ Autumn..the year's last, loveliest |

I well remember the night I first saw the stars. It takes something special to make us really see them and your poem tells of the thoughts and emotions in exact detail. Very much enjoyed! |

Rick, that's lovely. I remember the sense of awe I felt as a youngster, looking up at the night sky. This poem helped me recapture that feeling. Thank you. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
