Une E'toile (A Star)

I remember this poem I wrote in high school for our school magazine. 



I wish I was a star
To hold the breeze and kiss the dew
To watch the cities from afar
To paint the sky with different hue
To touch the night and cry
And fill the sea with tears
To catch the blazing fire before it dies
To soar beyond every hill

I wish to be a star
To hear the siren’s heartbeat
And to stretch the shortest hour
To praise and kiss the Master’s feet
To sing a lullaby for a little child
Whose dreams were trapped in the wilderness
To lie in the clouds gently piled
And to thank the Lord for His goodness.


This reminds me of a verse, from Matthew 5:14 when Jesus preached in the hill saying:
    
     "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.."
