Catch a Falling Star

Shirley Sue was wearing the biggest grin. She kept her secret, and her hand on her pocket. We had no idea until years later that she had caught one. We had all heard of the possibility of it, of course. The ones who did not believe, did not have a chance. I did believe, so could have caught a star myself. If I had believed as hard as she did.

"...never let it fade away." Yep, it can be done, if you believe hard enough. Some people catch a star and quickly put it back. Sometimes they live with it for four or five years before it leaves!
