Remember

A tiny dot
A speck amongst the stars
It grows and glows
Radiating its charm

If we could solve
all its mysteries
We would then know
the secret of the galaxy

Its birth a wonder
A sight beyond words
Such as harsh beginning
to such a little form

As it learns all
the Earth can teach
It longs for the world
now out of reach

A distant memory
A whisper, a thought
It searches for that
which is all but lost

Always searching
Never finding
Always present
Reminding

Years pass and
wisdom grows
But still a child
whose heart knows

Oh, child of the universe
Return if you must
To whence you began
Oh, you who is made of stardust
