Those Stars
October 14, 2013
When I look at the stars
I feel so small,
Those pictures of those galaxies;
Ours is nothing at all.
How can I live my life
With my petty greed?
How can I justify
Those things that I “need?”
My greed’s insignificance
In looking at the stars
Becomes clear in my mind,
What’s “mine” is now “ours.”
So when I look at those stars
I still feel so small,
But I've grown a bit bigger;
Now I've got it all.
