Excellence Award in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition

I watch the stars every night 
I watch them dance in the moonlight
And how hey light up the sky with their pride
And the way they out shine every life.

I sit by the fire every night
I watch the fire crackle and spit
Toward the sky where the stars lie
I watch how the fire is fierce and the way it's light pulses with desire.

When I look into your eyes 
I see them shine like the stars 
An the way they pulse with love and desire 
The love and desire you have for me 

You are my stars and my fire 
You will never burn out.
