The Stars

You stand under the stars

and you look up at them, 

marvelling in their beauty,

taking in all their wonder.

They look down at you too,

and they wonder why you were created.

They see beauty in you too,

a different kind, though.

They see hope twinkle in your eyes

and they see how loved you are.

And they\'re confused.

You don\'t look as beautiful as them.

You do not shine as brightly as they do.

You are imperfect, and they are not.

But when you look away from those stars,

they don\'t look away from you.

We only give ourselves seconds

to marvel at their wonder,

but it takes them centuries

to wonder why we were made.

And that is a question

not even we can answer.
