How I Wish I Knew

Every night, when stars adorn the sky,

I wonder what they see.

Every night, when they glow upon the sleepy world,

I wonder how they feel.

Every night, when they stuff into one sky to twinkle cheerfully,

I wonder what they seek.

All day, when they let sunlight mask them,

I wonder what they fear.

Yet every night, worn out by the sun,

I wonder how they find the strength to shine.

And every time I look at them,

I wonder.
