I love this, Julie! This brought back memories of a night when Noah was about 4 or 5 and we “chased the moon” on our drive home one evening. And there was a bright star that prompted some imagination from him. At the time I was in a poetry class for my creative writing studies. I wrote this poem based on his thoughts.

Star

God is on that first far

away speck in the sky

that may be a planet—

that may be the earth.

He has an old shirt

and is probably

in a rocketship.

The child thinks,

and so

it is.

Good morning Holly, I'm so glad you shared your memory with us. How sweet and beautiful. Aren't car rides the best for poetry making. :) Have a wonderful morning and hope to see you today to write.
