To Catherine, Jean and Joe, my favorite stars.
Stars! Stars! Stars!
I want to see planets and stars!
Bright stars twinkling above big city lights
Distant planets glowing over black country nights
Constellations that take shape when I connect them with lines
Milky Way stars shining two hundred billion times
The Sun that burns with golden light
Hot planet Mercury turning slowly in the night
Venus, the Evening Star, first planet to shine in the twilight sky
Blue-green Earth
with the dusty Moon orbiting by
Stormy Mars glowing red in the vastness of space
Giant planet Jupiter moving with grace
Saturn circled by rings and
Uranus spinning on its side
Windy Neptune and tiny Pluto orbiting wide
Shooting stars streaking tails of sparkling light
The Big Dipper holding a scoop of night
Stars! Stars! Stars!
I want to see planets and stars tonight!
