Stars That Dance at Night

When the sun goes down, and the sky turns dark, Out come the stars, each a shining spark. They twinkle and glow, so far and bright, Oh, how they dance through the silent night!

With silver shoes and gowns of light, They swirl and twirl in the moon’s soft sight. Like tiny lanterns in the deep blue sea, They make a pattern for you and me.

One little star winks from high above, It waves hello with a smile of love. “Come join the fun,” it seems to say, As it spins in circles and glides away.

The Big Dipper scoops with a ladle’s grace, Pouring star-dust all over the place. Orion strides with his belt so neat, Leading the stars in a dance so sweet.

Then up comes Cassiopeia in her starry chair, Combing her hair made of light and air. While Pegasus gallops on wings of white, Chasing his friends through the starry night.

The stars sing songs in a voice so clear, With melodies only dreamers can hear. They hum and they whisper, a lullaby tune, Guiding lost travelers by the light of the moon.

They prance around in groups of three, Drawing pictures for you and me. A lion, a bear, a fish with a tail, All made of stars that sparkle and sail.

Oh, how they sparkle, how they gleam! Dancing and glowing in a magical beam. They leap and skip in a joyful flight, Turning the dark into pure delight.

But soon the stars grow soft and still, The sky turns pink over every hill. Their dance slows down, their lights grow dim, Like fading notes of a bedtime hymn.

The moon smiles gently, the night says goodbye, The stars wave farewell from up in the sky. They close their eyes as the morning is near,

And whisper, “Goodnight, we’ll always be here.” When you dream tonight, look up and see, The stars that danced so wild and free.

They’ll wait for you in the velvet sky, With a twinkle of joy and a shining eye. So, close your eyes and drift away, To where stars dance and softly sway.

And remember their glow, their shimmering light— The stars that dance in the magical night.
