Poetry from a Young Tracy

 I stared across a starry sky

And then I began to cry

As the tears fell

I remembered that once before

I'd watched a night sky

With a friend

A friend who no longer saw my face

I remembered all of those times

We sat to stare at the sky

We'd talk of friends and boys

Of our fears and joys

We'd swear by the stars

That our friendship would last

Forever and ever

Then one day

It hit me

No longer did we share time

No longer did we spend the night with the stars

No longer did we share our feelings and fears

For what we had once

Was now all gone.
