A Million Years

"Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground." 
-- Theodore Roosevelt

The Star Sun by Bobbi Jones

 There is something magical about stars, endlessly shining in a dark sea of black. I remember learning that it can take thousands, maybe even millions, of years for a star's light to reach our eyes on earth. I love to gaze up at them, and when I do, I feel like anything is possible. If I can see their light after a million years of travel through space, I can make a mark in the world. So even though my eyes gaze ever upward, I plant my feet firmly here, and add to my intricate painting of life. Even if it takes me a million years, I'll shine through.
