My friend, the universe



My friend, is like the universe

They are mysterious

And ever expanding and changing

But oh, oh so beautiful

Yet people fear them

Why? I couldn't tell you

I can only see the good

All the stars and galaxies they host

...

Oh, if only they knew how loved they were

How at night when I can't sleep I look to them for guidance

My friend, the universe

You are so loved

Because without you I wouldn't know what to do

Without you there would be no stars to look at

No moon

No me

My friend, the universe


How can you not know you are loved?

    There is some semantic problem in this: My friend as your friends, or my friend as in talking to someone? And your friends in the world like the stars or the stars as your friends taking them as humans? A better arrangement of words and punctuation would make this clearer. As it is now, some reader may get it and some may not.
