If The Stars Were Mine by Mike Williams 01/21/2016 @ 8:31 A.M.

If the stars were mine, 
I would keep them exactly where they are.
I would make a sign, 
Saying look up very high, wide, and far. 

I would remind everyone, 
Strange is wonderful as the heavens mark. 
The stars only shine, 
When the world is the most dark. 

I would make a tall ladder, 
To listen to the stars sing to me. 
Sit quietly still for hours, 
And just simply watch them all be. 

I would find out their secrets, 
Everything would be perfectly fine. 
And share with the world, 
If ever the stars were mine.
