IT GREW DOWN BY THE STEADY STREAM WHICH REMINDED ME OF YOUR STEADINESS TO ME

THE TREE GREW STRONG & FULL OF BEAUTIFUL FRUIT LIKE ALL TREES SHOULD

THE TREE HELPED SHADE ME WHEN IT RAINED AND WHEN IT WAS TOO SUNNY.

I FOUND A SHINING BALL WHERE MY STRONG TREE STOOD.

I WANTED TO SWING ALL DAY.

I PICKED UP THE SHINING BALL AND TRIED TO BOUNCE IT... IT DIDN'T BOUNCE.

I TRIED TO SEE IF IT WOULD OPEN, IT DIDN'T.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT SO I DUG A WHOLE AND BURIED IT.

I KEPT WATCH OVER THE BURIED SHINING BALL

I WAITED ... THEN ASKED MY BROTHER,

THEN I TOLD HIM THE WHOLE STORY...

'OH, HE SAID... NOW I SEE. BUT LET ME SEE THIS SHINING SEED.'

'WHAT COULD IT BE?'

'IT'S HOME IS IN THE SKY?!'

'WHY ARE YOU SAD?' HE SAID

'STARS ARE FOR WATCHING , NOT PLAYING' HE SAID

YOU CAN WATCH IT, AND IT WILL WATCH YOU AND GUIDE YOU IN THE NIGHT BY ITS LIGHT

'YES! IT WILL BE NICE. YOU WILL GROW TO LOVE ITS GUIDANCE IN THE NIGHT.'

'I WANT TO SEE!! WE MUST TAKE IT HOME!'

'WE WILL HAVE TO JOURNEY UP TO SET IT FREE.'

CANDY, GUM, A SLEEPING BAG, BUG SPRAY, AND A JACKET

AND WE WALKED THROUGH THE FIELD THAT LEAD TO THE HILLS.

WE CLIMBED HIGH, UP, UP THE STEEP MOUNTAIN

THEN MY BROTHER SAID 'YOU CAN PUT IT THERE, THAT'S THE TOP.'

'WHAT DO WE DO NOW I SAID?'

'OK, I WILL'

I STARTED TO YELL, 'GO HOME TO THE SKY, YOU KNOW YOU CAN FLY, YOU BELONG UP IN THE SKY SO HIGH!'

' YOU CAN GET THERE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE AND THAT YOU WERE MADE TO FLY'

'YOU CAN DO IT, YOU CAN RISE TO THE HIGH SKY WHICH YOU BELONG'

RISING HIGH, HIGH INTO THE SKY!

WE WATCHED THE STAR STANDING BOLD ALL NIGHT LONG

THE STAR LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL IN ITS PLACE SO HIGH IN THE SKY WHERE IT BELONGED

I THANKED MY BROTHER THEN WENT TO THE STREAM

I SLEPT THERE ALL NIGHT IN THE LIGHT OF MY SHINING STAR IN THE NIGHT.

THEY NEVER TRUELY LEAVE THEY JUST EXPAND AND NEED TO BE FREE TO SHINE
