Peering deep into the night sky -
Steering hard with curious eye -
Every star fulfills its duty -
Showers earth with cosmic beauty -
Every star is much the same -
Yet each unique in more than name -
Every star a cosmic brother -
Yet none emulates another;
And now my eye beholds a star -
The greatest one up there by far,
And not because it burns more bright,
Or that it shines with sharper light;
But just because it caught my sight
On such a fine, majestic night.
This piece has been published in Teen Ink’s monthly print magazine.
