A Bazillion Stars

"A bazillion stars are in the sky,
Millions are trying to catch my eye,

They twinkle a wink,
For me I think

Come to me and explore,
A temptation I can’t ignore

For the stories they could tell,
I am sure they know Jesus well

In the infinity of the universe, 
I am a blank verse

Smaller than nothing against these stars,
How big is this Kingdom of ours?

How many lifetimes would it take,
To visit these stars for heavens sake

Alas I only have one chance,
To soak in this great expanse

And find the answers to my questions,
And so to the stars for direction 

To dream and wonder what is beyond,
And how will my heart and soul respond

To the magical mystery of why we are here,
In one life can it become clear?

Only God knows all,
And to whom we call

To help us understand what this seems,
Not beyond, but here and now means

So take comfort in the twinkling lights,
It’s an SOS message from God to make it right

Rest with him in your dreams tonight,
“For he deliver them when the time is right”
