The Night Sky

High above my head tonight-
Stars again up there shall fight-
For a place on the Heavenly seat-
One to many, an impossible feat-

But each lone star still keeps its dream-
To have above them all a brighter gleam-
To be the top, be uncontested-
Jealousy in them, each now infested-

But on the journey to the top-
Our little star forgets to stop-
And look around in the night sky-
To help the stars to small to try-

We all get lost in our own life-
Blind to see each others strife-
I plea we can all learn to stop-
And help another get to the top-
