“Some stars burn bright in solo spots
Like diamond dots on velvet.
Some gather and gleam behind the scene-
The sky’s own tinsel blanket.

Alone and bold; in glittering groups;
A thousand trillion clusters;
The cosmos has all kinds of stars
Each adding to the luster.

Would a star wish to shine
The way another glows?
Could it be they do not see
A sparkle of their own?

In the universe of galaxies
Expanding throughout time,
There are no stars who don’t give light;
There are lots of ways to shine.”
