she thought the stars were beautiful
so she watched them every night
and in the morning she mourned their loss.
but one night they did not come
and she wept.
the sun said, "am I not a star?
am I not good enough for you?"
she had waited all night and all day
for stars that might never come,
and so she had no answer.
