Starlight

Starlight

 

An army of stars shining through the night

Like old soldiers of wisdom adorned by their light

Forever standing guard and willing to tell their tales

Guiding souls to their destinations however they hail

 

There is a lot to be said for the magic they hold

So many discoveries for the young and the old

In days gone by they have led kings to Christ

Now in the night sky scholars seek out new life

 

They have a place of their own in children’s nursery rhymes

They have led the lost back home since the beginning of time

We form them into pictures of what we think we see

Be it archers or dippers the entertainment is free

 

Oh how I love to see them sparkle, twinkle and shine

As they grant me the miracle of a wish time after time

It doesn’t really matter exactly what they are

I’m forever grateful for the gift of the stars
