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. 4-12-21 Contest: Nursery Rhyme 4 Sponsor: Eve Roper

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

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!
