My Star Poem

one star so bright,
shine, shine through the dark night
i love to see you shine so
because i know
how lovely you are
how precious and yet so far
that lovely bright light shine among high
o lovely star
shining in the skies like christmas orentiments so lovely.
alas shining star, shining star,
i reach for you and you're so far
come to me, come down to me
and let us be friends.
dawn peeks over the hill now
awaking is the cock bringin' in a new day into town
the sun shines and stars are sleepin'
for a new day has come that God has made for us all.
