Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
And here on earth come emulating flies,
That though they never equal stars in size,
(And they were never really stars at heart)
Achieve at times a very star-like start.
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.
Immeasurable Awe 
 Fireflies are relatively small when comparing them to  stars  or when considering the overall  scale of the universe . Ultimately, fireflies fit within a jar. 
 
 Nonetheless, they seem infinite – as miraculous as stars – to young children, who deem size irrelevant and who explore their surroundings with boundless curiosity, wonder, and awe.
