Something Out There



Past the edge of our universe
somewhere quite far away
I believe there is something out there
that will meet us all one day

Whenever you feel alone,
look into the starry night sky
because more than likely,
there's somebody waving "Hi"

At the end of the night
when we lay for sleep
Something is there to lay with us
or so I think

Like how neighbors can never meet
this form of life we have yet to greet
The way  they live and breathe
we have yet to see

I hope one day while I lay down
This life greets me, without a frown

For past the edge of our universe
somewhere quite far away
I believe there is something out there
that will meet us all one day

    The second stanza took my breath away as I imagined myself during those difficult days we all have, wondering about life and its meaning. I often find comfort looking into the beautiful sky and hoping that the spirit and strength of my ancestors is with me. Jayden captured this moment perfectly.
