There is a growing universe
inside your head
made up of all
the things we've said

There is a galaxy
for every day
born in our hearts
and drifting away

There are those stars
who yet shine so strong
whose very light
shall be with us long

There are these planets
each in their circuit
we love to watch them
though none are perfect

There are the mountains,
oceans and streams
that make up a world
we hold dear in our dreams

There is a home
at the heart of it all
and sometimes it seems
to be growing quite small
