Be the You Only You Can Be
Sent her out to find a star that looked like her
She came in crying, realizing she surpassed them
I feel pretty she said.
We smiled.
What about my wishes she asked.
There is a bleak feeling about. The stars are dying.
I saw it for myself.
We went outside with her
Built her up, shared her best qualities.
Night breeze smiled at our optimism
It is your destiny to be the best you that you can be
we told her.
Was it enough?
Night breeze nodded.
Swirling upward to show her how it is done.
