I got up off the ground.
To reach for the sky.
And thought I could catch a star!

Then I collapsed.
And hurt my leg.

When I was sitting there on the ground,
I thought how happy I would be
if I were myself a star.
When I tried to jump higher,
to reach for the sky once again,
I realised that my leg was broken,
and I wouldn’t even be able to walk again.
Too weak to jump.

Did the star maybe see
that I was clinging to it?
And let me go?
