Worth It

For all the times you've been slimed by mud, poo, and worse —

For all the times you've responded with alacrity (if the frustrated kind) to "No Mommy, off da compooter, come here" —

When at night my eyes are closed,

Is the sky really a window with the curtains closed?

And the stars are little holes through which the sunshine glows?

I'm wondering.
