The stars smiled upon us, as if they knew we'd soon join them.

The skies smiled upon us, as if they were welcoming us to them.

The birds smiled upon us, as if they waited to teach us how to fly.

The trees smiled upon us, as if they were watching to see our roots.

The rivers smiled upon us, as if they wondered what our current would be.

The grass,

The flowers,

The fires,

The hills,

The valleys,

They were all waiting,

Curious,

To see what we'd become.
