A very young star was winking one night, <br />It captured an audience way below its sight. <br /> <br />It was above, its subjects below, <br />It had to reach them with a captive show. <br /> <br />How could it span the great distance in space, <br />So the earth would always recognize this star's face? <br /> <br />There was also the moon it had to outshine, <br />It wanted to be able to say, the universe is mine. <br /> <br />The star figured out if it turned on the charm, <br />It would be applauded and adored by all who were born. <br /> <br />It got carried away with its last encore, <br />It's final, awesome sight was a falling star. <br /> <br />All through time, the greatest of all, <br />Was not missed till its downfall. <br /> <br />Then it was forgotten and lost in space, <br />Because another upcoming star took its place.<br /><br />Kristin Nicole RothDavis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-foolish-star/
