Five Little Stars

Published by Family Friend Poems May 2020 with permission of the Author.

Five little stars were twinkling,
Bright like never before.
One little star burned up -
Now there were only four.

Four little stars were complaining,
Complaining about the moon.
One exploded with anger -

Three little stars were glowing,
Glowing in the night.
One little star faded away -
It just stopped giving light.

Two little stars were exploring;
They ventured out in the sky.
One little star went missing -
And no one knows why.

One little star was dreaming
Of making your wish come true.
One little star fell down to earth -
Especially for you!
