Summer night's sail

Summer night's sail. The stars shimmer in symphony with the howling wind. The old man rows the boat as he watches his grandson stare at the night sky in wonder. The boy raises his arm and wades the fishing pole across the sky, trying to catch a star. No luck! ...the disappointment in his eyes quickly changes to delight. The old man smiles as the little one turns to the stars in the lake...
