I lay on my back and watch the star shine so bright,
Gleaming like the brightest diamonds I have ever seen.
All is quiet this late at night,
So all I have to do is watch the stars and dream.
Crickets chirp happily in the weeds nearby
Adding a song to the beauty that is all around me.
My eyes are glued to the midnight sky
As I soak in the peace that is all around.
Tomorrow may be another busy and stressful day,
I know that I will be alright.
For tonight, everything else can go away,
I am star gazing, after all.
