Such fun looking at the stars at night. They glow and glisten in the blackness of the night sky. They hang up there looking at all of us.
Sometimes, when I do my own stargazing, I remember the nursery song ringing in my ears. 'How I wonder what you are', enters my mind for the most briefest of moments.
It often crosses my mind what my natural science teacher told us in one of her lectures. 'Some stars are already hundred years dead--- even thousands or millions, for all we know, but there light still reaches us. It always amazed me that they can do that when they're already dead.
I look up at those stars at night, wondering how many among them are already dead but still manages to send their light to us so the sky won't be so dark and scary to look at at night. And I wonder, if ever I can do it, too. Will I be able to send m loved ones my love when I am a quarter of a century six feet under?
It goes to show that stars really belong up in the heavens.
