Stars! Stars! Stars!
by Bob Barner

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!
