Ever wonder about the star,
That which twinkles from afar,
Sparkling diamonds in your eyes,
Ignites your heart and dreams Alike.
If you wished to touch the star,
'Cuz it shines bright as the tsar.
The closer you get, the hotter it'll set,
Through your bones, the skin,
And the soul Akin!
But if you wished to be that star,
Learn to combust and raise the bar.
Seize your duties, glow with infinite rays,
Inspire minds and light their ways.
For those travellers in rugged paths,
Who are often caught in desert storms,
Raise their heads for hope above,
To ponder if in each of us,
There's strength to find ingenious paths,
And discover the mysteries of the Universe.
And to those who don't seize to risk it all,
Nor push themselves beyond the radar,
Will Forever Wonder from lightyears afar,
For what it is, but just a Star.....
