Shooting Star

as she sits on the porch
looking at the stars
enjoying their beauty
twinkling, shining so bright
thinking though they are hundreds probably thousands of millions apart
their worlds were so much a like
So many stars
Some shining brighter then others
Some big, some small
No two were a just a like
A small star caught her eye
It was so far away from the others
No a single one around it
it was totally alone
She wondered if the star felt lonely
rejected, like a complete odd ball
Not big enough, brighten, twinkling enough
trying to please others always
yet it never felt like enough
feeling complete stuck where it was
For several nights she watched that one star
oddly finding comfort
realizing some how, some way
she wasn't alone

One night she walked out to her porch
and sat down
tears filled her eyes
her heart so heavy
it felt like her world was crashing in
She prayed aloud

"God, help me.
I feel so lost and alone
So stuck
So small
So alone
So frustrate and angry
Yet so happy and sad
Please I know I'm perfect
But please give me some sign
Some sign that some how
this pain, this life
is all worth it
that I'm worth it.''

She couldn't hold her tears back anymore
She just let them out
something inside her, told her to look up
So just did
She look towards her little star
Suddenly she realized it was bigger
Brighter then the rest
Twinkling so proud
In the blink of an eye
it became shooting star
finally free

She couldn't help but cry again
but this time
the tears weren't tears of sorrow
they were tears of joy and happiness

She looked up to the sky
with a smile almost as bright as the stars
“Thank you. Thank you.''

Just then it started to rain
she couldn't help but laugh
she just sat there
letting the rain fall on her
she was happy
because for the first time
She felt thing
really felt something
deep inside her heart
Even though her little star friend was gone
She wasn't alone
She was never alone
God was always with her
And though the world may feel like crap sometimes
it was finally worth it
She was finally worth it
