I’ve always been fascinated by the stars. They are so beautiful and calming. Living in the Pacific Northwest as I do now, we don’t see them all that often. But when we do, it is always a fun surprise I do my best to appreciate!
I like to get up in the night
And look out at the stars so bright.
Each tiny twinkle in the sky
Winks back at me from way up high
Each one in place with such great care
Only heaven could’ve put them there
And how many people have they seen –
From peasant to a lovely queen
Those troubled just outside the bay –
And helped them all along their way
What a blessing is each one
That helps us when there is no sun
And the moon is hiding its bright face
In some other secret place.
How glad I am for perfect love
From One who made those stars above
What peace and comfort find me there
When stillness shadows everywhere
And a quiet whisper in my ear
Reminds me that there’s love right here.
How glad i am for oh, so bright –
The stars that twinkle in the night.
