Another one for Tulsi:
Don’t they look tiny? All twinkling there, way up high
Like fragments of diamonds, glued onto the black velvet sky
And if they would fall, you could catch them to hold in your hands
And look at on those days when nobody else understands.
But we are the ones who are tiny. We’re tinier far
Than the faintest of all the millions of glittering stars.
They’re bigger than you can imagine, so hot and so bright
All twinkling so far away in the infinite night.
So when you look up at the stars, and you start feeling small
Remember your problems aren’t really so big after all.
Whatever this little world tells us, there’s no need to fuss
If those fragments of sparkling diamonds are bigger than us.
