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 never really stars at heart)
Achieve at times a very star-like start.
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.
By Robert Frost
In the first two lines you can see that Frost is comparing fireflies to real stars in the sky. Though the fireflies are not the same size as stars or really have the potential to become stars, their glow is very similar to the them in the sky. This poem is easy to understand and has a strong meaning to it which makes me quite attached to it.

You've got it! They'd like to emulate stars - or, be like them, but they can't quite cut it.
