A jar of stars in a cupboard.
The jar had been in the cupboard for so long she had forgotten it was there.
A smell of mustiness filled the air as she began to unscrew the lid.
Now, as she stood with the jar in her hand, she felt sad.
Her eyes filled up with tears as she remembered that the stars were her wishes and dreams.
What point to make a wish upon a beautiful light then place it in the dark
So she opened the jar, took out the stars and placed them on her heart.
