The Twinkling Stars

In the night sky, oh so bright,
Stars begin to twinkle with delight!
Like little diamonds, they dance and play,
Winking at us, night turns to day.

Look up high, can you see?
A twinkling star, just for you and me!
With colors swirling, like a butterfly's wing,
Each twinkle tells a story, oh what joy they bring!

So when you see those stars up high,
Remember to twinkle back, oh my!
Let your dreams soar, just like the light,
In the magical world of the starry night!
