⭐️ One Star Among Fifty 🇺🇸
One Star Among Fifty
Childhood in War
Snow blankets broken streets.
Little hands scrape metal—
red, raw—currency of survival.
A wooden sleigh rises in quiet,
gliding down icy hills—
one boy’s world, fragile, fierce.
Ingenuity and Survival
He gathers scraps.
Turns nothing into toys.
Into trade. Into hope.
Every nail, every curve of wood,
a small rebellion
against the silence of war.
A sleigh sold.
A dream earned.
Even in ruins, something can rise.
Journey to America
Three miles to a bus stop,
three miles back.
Sleep steals his steps.
Family tethered by love,
holding fast through winters of toil.
The streets of a new land stretch long,
but he carries a star in his pocket
and generations in his hands.
Love, Aspiration, and Legacy
Hands in the snow. Eyes on the stars.
One star among fifty,
guiding family through storms unseen.
The American Dream is not given.
It is carved.
Warmed by love.
Forged in perseverance.
He built a world—
and lit the sky.
