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
