How long do the stars live?

How long do the stars live in day or night? Surrounded by darkness, till death they fight. For all life had been given home. When day break made, the path of everything made shown. From the light we extract sight, warmth, and growth. And we did nothing but watch, everything from then on. As if the light had told us, we were not alone. It's there still, rebelling against nothing, for it is our everything. And still it shows us miracles, though sometimes, people forget to see them. On hot days it reminds us to rest, and cold days It knows every spot to warm up when it sees you. The light fights just to see you, through cold and darkness, it greets you. And someday, some say, even it will be gone. But the light deep inside, will whisper, carry on.. Yes, we are not the stars, but perhaps we are, their daughters and sons. Just look at them burn, blazing against the night, united, for no star was born alone, nor had any given quarter, for darkness, to call it's home. Maybe we'll become more like them. When we become better Men and Women. We'll understand the sanctity of time given, where we fall short and give in. We'll understand like the stars, unity is not conformity. It's a common ground of life, in audacious enormity. We'll just love each other. That's what made the stars strong enough, to fight for everything. They will live as long as our forever..

Nicely done, LB. I especially like the lines "Just look at them burn, blazing against the night, united, for no star was born alone, nor had any given quarter, for darkness, to call it's home." Keep posting, sir.
