Starlight Poem by Elvira Groenendijk

Whenever you feel like you don't belong
Just watch the stars that have been there all along.
In the great universe on a planet so small
And you are here watching them all

They're the light from the past in the great black sky
where shooting stars are passing by
Now realize you are looking centuries into the past
And see how long their lights had last

Each of them there for you to see
Except your life and let it be
Take the lights from your past and leave behind the black mass
Cause problems will come and they will pass

But as long as you have your lights and never let them die
There always will be hope and you won't just pass by
Make your life and make it count
You're part of it all, your light will always be around
