Stars
Have you ever wondered
About the stars?
About the tiny specks of light
That seem so far away?
What are the stars?
Great balls of burning gas
Designed to make us wonder?
Or do they have a purpose?
Perhaps they are suns for
Worlds like ours
Millions of light years away
Worlds like ours
Galaxies of suffering souls
World after world of heartbreak and loss
My small problems don't seem to matter as much
When compared to a universe of sorrow
But if there is sorrow, wouldn't there also be joy?
Endless streets of dancing children
Millions after millions of smiles and laughs?
New life, new chances
Forgiveness, hope
Lifelong dreams fulfilled?
Yes, if there are other worlds out there,
Then the exceeding joy
Would surpass the sorrow
But, of course
The brilliant stars we see at night
May just be stars
And our world may be alone.

The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family. ~Thomas Jefferson
Family
"The only things you will take with you, when all is said and done, are your family relationships- Gordon B. Hinkley
"Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters. Help carry their load so you can say, like the lyrics of that song, 'He ain't heavy; he's my brother.' "
-Ezra Taft Benson

Dear Amanda,
Another talent I didn't know you had! A poet in the family! Did you just write this or was it an assignment? I'm impressed! Remember Grandma told you you're to write a book. This is a great start. Hope to see you soon, we love you! Write some more on the family blog!
Love,
Grandma Pennock
