A Tiny Star
I picked a star to watch tonight
Some five million light years away
It serves as our sun to someone
I wonder what they have to say
Wrapped loose around this tiny star
Float another trillion it seems
But those are for a later night
This one will occupy my dreams
This star must have planets like ours
After all it is a bright sun
There should be life somewhat like us
But then - where is everyone
Those who deal with numbers and such
Say there must be others out there
But when I push they just mumble
"Well, they must be out there somewhere."
