Twinkle twinkle little star <br />How did you ever get so far <br />From where I thought that you would be? <br />Shining with joy, ever so brilliantly <br /> <br />Don’t ever fall from grace <br />Because I would only wish you back <br />Right back to your rightful place <br /> <br />Twinkle twinkle little star <br />I most certainly know who you are <br />And just who you might be <br />But for now I admire how you shine so brightly <br /> <br />Because I cannot touch you <br />For it is just not the time <br />So I reach out instead in this childish rhyme <br /> <br />Twinkle twinkle, my shooting star <br />Sear me with your heat, leave a scar <br />So that if you should disappear <br />I would always remember that I once had you here <br /> <br />In the palm of my hand <br />But your warmth is too much to bear <br />That’s why its from afar I stand <br /> <br />Twinkle twinkle my little star <br />Esta estrella que no deseo apagar <br />Because you must shine in spite of yourself <br />Vibrantly shimmering despite what’s left <br /> <br />No matter if this star I ever attain <br />I will forever cherish its presence <br />Because from it something I gained <br /> <br />Twinkle twinkle my precious star <br />I’m so glad I know just who you are <br />Up above my world so high <br />More beautiful than a diamond caught in the sky <br />Twinkle twinkle little star <br />Oh how I love just who you are <br /> <br />~Rakeem 'voiceNpoetry' Person (6-27-08)<br /><br />Rakeem Person<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/twinkle-5/
