The Star

I sat at my window tonight
And I saw a lone star
Twinkling boldly against the sky.
And I felt that I winked
As if to say,
"If I can shine like this,
Why can not you, why do not you?

I thought of you
What did you spend
The dreams start to turn
And the endless 'could've-Beens'.
I saw a stream that would continue to
While Frisbee flying without wings
And I remembered you ...
I said:
"Why can not you, why do not you?

Of course, success is sweaty
Do not even go out in sparkling stars
In one night alone
Once it is born.
It begins again ... and move forward
Hardwork behind a secret
Consistency is God in it ...
Success, like stars, bringing brightness
At God's perfect
I thought of you (to me)
And I said (that's you) ...
"Why can not you ... why not?"
