The Star Witness

The night sky sparkled with stars that had been set in place long ago. I looked at them wondering about the conversations they were witness to. My memory took me back to a place I loved… I was laying on the grass, head to head with my son, talking about hopes and dreams while we looked at these same stars together. I had wanted him to know he could do anything he desired. He could play music, he could be a programmer of awesome games, he could be a writer, he could travel, he could explore, he could…

Looking at the stars again, I smiled about the dreams he was living, and how many more were still before him? I hoped he too would lie on the grass with his own son, to share the possibilities of everything he could be or do. One day these stars would share their memories of the moments that mattered to me.
