MINI UNIVERSE OF STARS

Our friends and family form stars in a mini-universe…
A universe where joy and sorrow are shared.
Their stars are constantly orbiting our star
while our star orbits theirs.

Some of the stars are bright
while others have a softer hue.
Some of the stars have been orbiting a long time
while other stars are new.

Some of the stars are gone now
their light we can no longer see…
shooting stars who have landed
in our hearts periphery.

One of the beauties of our life
that keeps our star aglow
is knowing every day there is a chance
for our universe to grow.

And knowing there is something
that will always make us smile…
when the orbits of our stars come together
If only for a little while.
