Dreams give you hope among many things
And the girraffe had dreamed for so many days
So with strong willpower he grew himself wings
That he could fly into space and frolik and play.

Then the girafe flew, with all of his might
Into the darkness away from the sun
And when he found dusk, the beginning of night,
he stopped and he fluttered and looked for some fun.

"Stars stars" he yelled "come out here its true"
"I've grown some wings so I can come play with you"

And one by one the stars they came out
They sparkled and twinkled and hovered about
and they grinned and they laughed and all started to shout

"but a giraffe cannot fly, go away, go on, shooo!
We are wishing stars and can not play with you."

The giraffe felt his heart break his eyes filled with tears.
"But I've been dreaming of playing with you stars for years
I even grew wings just so I could fly,
So couldnt you play, please give it a try."

The stars gathered together and whispered in haste
While the giraffe sat there hovering, suspended in space
And when the star whispering conference was done
the lead star smiled and said "lets have some fun"

So now if you look up, into the night sky
You might just see that giraffe flying so high
flying on dreams that he held so true,
And it might make you hold tight, onto your dreams too.
This is a poem in response to a picture I found on DA found here [link] its a beautiful picture and I couldnt help but be inspired to write this poem.
