Precious Gems

Would that I had a bracelet of starlight 'round my wrist. A matching ring upon my hand, my earlobes starlight kissed. I wish I had a neck chain of moonbeams 'round my neck, To wear with robes of gossamer and be so fine bedecked; But if I had such finery it wouldn't be so special. I wouldn't value it so much if they were on my level; But every night I'm bathed in them, the jewels of the night. I bask in silver radiance as I walk beneath their light.

Lovely piece, Judy. We have too much light pollution here near London to see anything. Barry.
