As the stars sparkle

I stare, eyes wide

My neck craned upward

Letting the distant light shine

Upon my face


The stars are shining diamonds

They shine with power

They sparkle with intensity

Some take on a tinge of blue

Some dazzle with a touch of red

Planets sit between the stars

Bright and shining

Though not twinkling

As their celestial friends do

Every night


A falling star lights up the sky

Stealing the spotlight

Only for a moment

For the diamonds in the sky still twinkle

With amazing endurance



The stars glimmer

And the man in the moon smiles

As I say goodbye

Stealing one last glance

At my starry friends
