My hand reaches up and tries to catch the stars
I laugh and frolic like any two year old child
I feel my mother's arms embrace me
And know that I am loved
I fall asleep with her steady heartbeat in my ears
I awake to find that I am grown
With my own child in my arms
I teach him to reach for the stars
And many years later he tells me of his success
I smile and tell him to teach his children what I taught him
I hold his hand as he tells me he loves me
I smile one last time before I soar up to the stars
