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.

Thank you so much Barry. You should take a ride into the country if possible and just look up. It's dizzying. God Bless, JB
