You can't see the stars if you are always looking down.

You are the fire that keeps me warm at night
The everlasting flame that makes me strong
You're the scarlet light that lights up my life
The element, the bright florescent song.
You are the water that will hydrate me.
The hydrogen and oxygen I need.
Your endless boundaries keep my mind clean
The clear refreshment to help me begin.
You are the Earth that I am standing on.
The solid natural beauty I love.
You're still pure, even with the pollution
The proof there's something beautiful above.
I may have described you as just three things,
But to me, you're the joy God always brings.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
