from far, far, far away
there is no difference
between a planet and a star
they both shine bright
like little glowing embers
but right before you
it is obvious
the star has light and warmth
that comes from deep within
the planet,
none
if there was no star
the planet would no longer shine
but if there was no planet
the star would still
glow
---
I am a planet
a small insignificant
cold place
I whirl around my star
my beautiful
life giving star
I bask in light and warmth
unselfishly given by my star
without ever giving anything back
but
I wish
and strive
and dream
that one day even I
can also give something back
to my beautiful, beautiful star
Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Star
