They had the same routine every night before he went to bed…his dad would read him a book, tuck him in…then this is what he said:

“May this be the best night you’ve ever had my son of any night so far…may your dreams be filled with wonder as you play among the stars.”

One morning he awoke with a smile on his face…remembering the dream he had…and he quickly ran to the breakfast table so he could tell his dad.

“Dad! Dad! It finally happened!” he yelled…”I dreamt I played among the stars…
in all my dreams this was the best dream I’ve ever had…by far.

In fact I flew right by Venus and Jupiter…stopping on Mars instead…
and when I told her I thought she was beautiful…boy did she turn red.

Then I sat for a little while and dangled my feet off of the crescent moon…
listening to the constellation Lyra as she played a pretty tune.

As I sat there on the moon I began to feel hotter and hotter and hotter
so I picked up the big dipper and asked Aquarius for some water.

I played fetch with Canis Major and Minor…oh how good it felt…
until Orion told me if I didn’t stop…he’d be taking off his belt.

I spent some time with the North Star…of all the stars he’s the politest 
and I talked a lot with Sirius..because he is, of course…the brightest.

I even rode a shooting star and you might find this hard to understand
but when I woke up in my bed this morning…I found this stardust in my hand.

His father smiled at his son’s excitement…then said, son, come with me
there’s something I’ve been holding onto I think it’s time for you see.

He opened up a drawer in his bedroom saying. “I too have flown among the stars…
then reaching into the drawer…he pulled out an old and weathered jar.

In here is stardust I’ve saved all these years…as hard to believe as it may seem
but when I was your age…years ago…I had a similar dream.

I suggest you keep your stardust with you always…he said handing his son a jar..
to be shared with your children…the morning after…they play among the stars.
