My฀Stars


Distance฀from฀Sun฀to฀
Earth:฀92,900,000฀miles฀

(149,476,000฀km)

You฀could฀travel฀the฀
distance฀from฀Earth฀to฀the฀
Sun฀about฀266,875฀times฀
before฀reaching฀Proxima฀
Centauri.

Why฀does฀my฀roof฀of฀stars฀appear
To฀be฀so฀very,฀very฀near
When฀even฀nearby฀evening฀stars฀฀
Are฀really฀very,฀very฀far?

At฀night,฀when฀all฀the฀stars฀are฀bright,
I฀think฀about฀their฀twinkling฀light.
Tiny฀diamonds฀dot฀the฀sky.
I฀watch฀them฀all฀and฀wonder฀why.

Beyond฀the฀moon,฀beyond฀the฀sun,

The฀stars฀continue,฀never฀done.
Some฀together,฀some฀alone,
Waiting฀to฀be฀found฀and฀known.

A฀crab,฀a฀dipper,฀snake,฀and฀bear.
I฀see฀a฀bull฀and฀dog฀up฀there.
Groups฀of฀stars฀I’ve฀come฀to฀know,
Nighttime฀friends฀who฀come฀and฀go.฀

So฀what’s฀the฀closest฀star฀to฀me?
Can฀you฀guess฀what฀it฀might฀be?
A฀spinning฀ball฀of฀red-hot฀gas,
A฀massive,฀shining,฀yellow฀mass.

8

A฀star฀that฀shines฀throughout฀the฀day.
At฀night฀it฀seems฀to฀go฀away.
All฀stars฀are฀suns,฀but฀this฀is฀one
That’s฀overhead.฀It’s฀called฀our฀Sun.
