You Can Do Anything You Try. {La'Tuin}

Laughing with composer, sat the sky,
Dangling, from a lamp, his toes.
He turned to me with a smile bright,
An ancient twinkle in his eye.

I could do nothing but grin so shy,
For in his eye was such a glow.
To ask my question, he seemed quite right;
I took a deep breath and sighed.

"How can I help you," he tried to pry.
"Tell me everything that you know,
"About the stars and yourself at night."
I challenged then, no longer shy.

"The stars that fall during the night . . . why?"
The answer I just had to know.
I gently pressed on with all my might,
"Why, like the stars, can I not fly?"

He pulled me on his lap, quick to sigh,
"There are many things we don't know,"
"But I can tell you this, late tonight,"
He kissed me then, about to cry.

"The stars in the famished, midnight sky,"
"Look beautiful, but only glow."
I was quick to state he wasn't right,
But he just shook his head and sighed.

"You see, stars are broken little guys,
Hanging on to all with a glow,
Stars are my tears that hang in the night.
So, you see, stars can't really fly."

The young girl shook her head; he did try,
But something all little girls know
Yet grown-ups seem to forget the site,
Is that you can do anything you try.

"Now do you see clearly, Mr. Sky?"
"All you have do to is start low,
"Gather all your strength and all your might
And hold on to hope; you can fly!"

With an ancient twinkle in his eye --
"You are the smartest girl I know."
He gently said, "Gather strength and might,"
He chuckled again and sighed.

Laughing with composer, sat the sky,
Dangling, from a lamp, his toes.
He turned to me with a smile bright,
An ancient twinkle in his eye.
