If I Were a Star

By: Kelly Morillo

If I were a star
I would
touch the
evening sky.
If I were a star I would be brighter than the others.

If I were the moon
I would say good night to you when
you go to sleep at night.
If I were the moon I would shine brighter than the sun.

If I were the sun
I would shine on you in the morning
wrapping my rays around
your body, making you
warm in the winter.
If I were the sun I would brighten up the sky for you.

If I were a bird
I would sing
you a song to make you feel
secure in the day.
If I were a bird I would sing to you in the day and make
the day easier for you.

If I were alive
I would share
my life with you and I would
be by your side each day.
If I were alive I would have my warmth warm you in the
winter.

But I am none of these,
so I will warm you in the winter and I will sing you to
sleep and I will shine your life with my love.
