Star child

the long version

The Star Child, a tiny flame of vapor, invisible and timeless, watches the Earth from far, far away. He marvels at the blue swirls of the ocean and the green land, a bright spot turning through the darkness of space. He wants to go to this wondrous place, but he ponders: What will that life be like? Star Child wants very much to visit Earth, but his elders tell him that to do so, he will have to be born a human child and endure an existence far different from what he has known.
