I look up at the stars

and I see the dreams

of all those that came

before me.

I see the goals, the 

wishes, and the memories.

And it doesn’t scare me.

I don’t flinch, cringe, or

run.

I marvel at all the emotions

and I pick my favorites

from the sky and store

them in my heart. I 

treasure each one and

keep them as my own.

Everyday, I experience a

different one. Each night I

pick a couple more out 

of the sky until I’m

overflowing with emotion.

I’m filled with young love, 

pain, sorrow, joy, fear, and

Positive energy. I share these

with those who have known 

such heartache as I have.

We have all grown now.

We are adults,

with our own responsibilities

And lives, but we will never

forget those days when 

we stole the stars from

sky just to feel something.
