RE: "What happened to the stars?"

in #writing8 years ago

This is really cool. I am definitely following! This may seem odd but it reminds me of a pop song from a few years ago. I always found this line pretty poignant: "Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now." It always made think about the residents of the children's home where I worked. Those kids had lived in bad city neighborhoods all their lives. Most never really saw a starry sky.

Sort:  

I remember that song! And I feel bad for the children... I live in a city now, and whenever I visit where I grew up, I realize how much I missed the stars. I wish I could show it to them.

They were strong kids. I have not seen them for years, but something tells me they have found a way to see more of the world.
