My uncle once told me that in essence, you should try to reach for a star. Because if you try reaching for the moon, you might miss. There are so many more stars that by aiming for a star you will more than likely find your mark. This is dedicated to my uncle Clifford, who had green eyes just like me.

       Reaching to the sky for that star,

       That looks so distant, ever so far.

       But in reality, may well be very near.

       My Star, seeming to be so far.

       I can see you, reaching for my dear Star.

       Let my dreams of actually touching you, 

       Be realized, not in a dream so very far.

       For if I see you as I reach for you,

       I believe that somehow I will now,

       Touch you …. as I reach you, my Star.
