Little Stars

Little Stars 

Little stars up in the sky
Wish they could be bigger
Like the North Star they try
To shed more light with vigor.

Little flowers bloom in fields
Covered with quilts of dew
They twinkle, sparkle like little stars
While the stars wink at you.

Little stars in your eyes
Twinkle like diamonds of dew
Lighting up your midnight dreams
To pirouette through evening's blue. 

Little one, safe in my arms,
I sing this lullaby
Of a little star that grows each day
Right before my eyes.

how lovely that last part comparing the child to a star. The last two lines of it were SO precious!

Thank you Andrea! Lullabies and bedtime stories are truly a precious part of being a parent. Have loved Eve's nursery rhyme contests. They seem to have struck a chord with so many soupers. Wonderful entries. Blessings to you!

You have a wonderful story, Sam, it should have scored higher, but you forgot to put Nursery Rhyme in your title. I felt this should be read by others. Congratulations on your win. Hugs Eve

Sam, I am at fault to doing the same. I forget to go back and check the requirements and get an N/A.

Thank you so much Eve! So appreciate your compassionate placement! When will I learn to read? Usually, before submitting to a contest, I re-read the requirements. Must have been in dreamland when I hit submit! I have loved these nursery rhyme themes. Thank you for these contests and all that you do here on the soup! Sending you blessings of sweet dreams!

Oh my rhyme time friend, your adorable nursery rhyme charms me to no end. So beautifully whimsical and rhythmic, moving music for the heart. One finds little stars in what we cherish. Best wishes for a win, my dear Sam, and warmest wishes sent to you on a shooting star.. ~Susan
