The sky seemed so large

When I was but a child

The world was my playground

Young,free,wild

The orb of the night

Waxes and wanes

And with each passing year

Things are no longer the same

Time flies

Slips between my fingers

What is normal now

Was once a childish wonder

The stars glitter in the sky

Giant constellations, a prize

They shimmer and sparkle

As if mocking my cries

The sky full of stars

Seemed dead and cold

A place once so magical

Now hurt to behold
