I Grew Too Fond Of The Stars To Be Afraid Of The Dark….

By Anvi Bahri

I knew a little girl, She said she loved the stars, It made her eyes shimmer in the dark, Even when she cried at night, She would look at the moon and pass a smile.

I know a little girl, Who was brave with her soul, Never alone, She said we are always more- Than what we see, So open your eyes wide cause the mind needs peace.

I once knew a little girl, She was too fond of the stars, To be afraid of the dark, But once I heard her say to the skies, “I am afraid, please don’t say goodbye.”
