Chasing Stars

welcome to the insanity ward, i am your host
its not the words the bring sorrow but the words that make you smile that hurt the most
my heart is burnt like it was toasted over a fire pit roast
i have less than anyone but yet i boast
if knowledge is power than i am stronger than most
my words are the waves and your heart is the coast
so to all that is broken i propose a toast
Because the irreparable can mend
and the unmovable obstacle can bend
so to all of those that have lost hope, this letter of encouragement  i send
clear your eye
and  do not cry
tilt your head up to the sky
look at those stars shining bright
burning gently like a candle light
they are persistent and you cant blow them out try as you might
all u must do is wish to join them and you will achieve flight
believe in the impossible and you can be Wilbur Wright
i guess the important message here is to never let your goal out of your sight.
