Big Nights


My sister said,
“You’re giving up tennis courts,
And swimming pools, and…”

But last night
When we got home,
The stars were amazing.

It was six degrees outside,
Yet we did not care.
We had to stay outside and
Look at our big, big sky
And admire our brightly lit night.

And then,
When I had crawled into bed
I looked out the window
And saw a shooting star
Right before
I shut my eyes and fell asleep.
