If the stars could talk

When you feel weary and weak

And it's solitude you seek.

Let me take you on a walk.

Your tears will fall and you might cry ‘if only the stars could talk!’

Here is what I think they would say about you.

‘You outshine us all.

You are amazing so keep walking tall.

We know your path feels lonely right now.

But for you, we take a bow.’

Let’s lay down and look at the dark sky

It’s ok if instead of smiling you would rather sigh

For now, let’s just look at the moon and stars

And lay still as the hours pass.

The gentle breeze will serenade us tonight

The moon will offer comfort. It’s so full and bright

Let it whisk away your problems and fears.

It’s ok if you need to shed some tears.

If the stars could talk they would say:

‘You hurt right now but you will grow.

Oh, if only you could know.

How spectacular your comeback will be.

Just keep walking that path and you will see.

The new you is emerging every day.

It’s painful now but I promise you, you are on your way.’
