Why Are There Stars

Stars, all of these stars
Stars create shapes and meaning
Stars shimmer and shine bright
Stars absorbing all of the light
Stars hold memories 
Memories that not everyone knows 
memories that do not scar
But maybe one that makes you weep
Stars cannot hurt 

Though it's just a star,
it is also so much more
More than you or even me
It can comfort in dark times
Or fill in as lullabies
As these stars disappear in day
They will Always come back at night
Stars glide in the sky
They move
And give hope 
Hope for people 
So a star?
It isn't just a star
