Stars So Bright
From her small bed, she gazed out the window, at a star so bright, and wondered if her baby girl's eyes still shone with such light.
She had left her in the early dawn at the steps of the orphanage quite far from her village, and waited in the cloak of barely light to see someone come upon the sight.
Of a baby girl placed just so; oh, how she didn't want her to go, but she knew it was for the best. She had been told that her girl might have a chance for a better life, far away from the boating village and farmlands that were their only means of existence.
Now she could only look up at the sky and dream about the beautiful eyes that had looked upon her that one last time.
A mommy far away gazed in her daughter's eyes so bright with a smile of delight; How did she get to be so lucky to have such a beautiful child?; one that was just right for herself.
Her daughter's eyes were so bright that she could light up a room with just one smile.
She had been given a star so bright to nurture and raise---to make sure that the star never lost its light.
She thought about it both day and night; they had to make sure that the light always shone ---to its brightest of all potential.
What a gift and what a challenge she had been given.
As she looked up into the night, she wished upon a star so bright, to guide them through her daughter's Life.
To make them ever so wiser that they would do everything right.
She placed that wish upon the star so bright................
"Mommy, why do stars shine so bright", asked her little girl one night.
"Because they are filled with the hopes and dreams placed on them each night," her mommy said. "Look up into the sky at that star shining oh so bright. That is the one that Mommy wished on for you each night. Now it is filled with all of the hopes, dreams, and love that Mommy has had for you over the years---it can't help but shine so bright!!!
With that, the Mommy and her daughter went inside for the night. .........guided by the light of the star shining oh so bright.
