Stars

Forget them for just a minute, won't you? It's been a lond day.
Let's look at the stars. They're really pretty, aren't they?....
Sometimes when I look at the stars, I pretend that they're jewels from a princess' crown. Lost in the sky.
I'd always reach up and try to grab one but my arms never were long enough.
Sometimes I blamed God for this.
For making me so small and for making something so beautiful live so very far away.
Maybe..one day, I can be a star too.
God could at least grant me that parting wish.

A lovely little blend of wistfulness and reality, which is in a small enough packet not to be heartbreaking.

A few typos: "long", and a two-dot unfinished ellipsis.

My favourite line is "Sometimes I blamed God for this". This is a Very Big Thing to say, but the conflicting feelings of respect and rage hide under the glassy propriety of the way it is put. It therefore fits very well.
I think it is such a good line that I can't help but imagine it separated out with some line breaks both before and after. This is just how I naturally read it.

Sorry, I meant to say that the typo was 'lond' (when it SHOULD be 'long')

i like to think that they are out of our reach because they are really angels, i love poems about the night sky..

This is thought provoking. It evokes the obvious imagery of looking up at the star filled sky with sense of peace and longing. I also wonder what the stars may represent to you that is out of your reach?
