I sat & gazed
At the dark blue sky
That was as dark
As a blueberry pie.
My mom called me in
To have apples red
And then she sent me
Off to my bed.
I sat & gazed
From my window sill
The stars up there
That stood so still.
They touched my heart
They made me squeak
As I watched them
Looking so very meek.
I sat & gazed
With drowsy eyes
As I fell asleep
Waiting for sunrise.
