Twinkle twinkle pretty star
How I love you where you are

Love you when you’re high or low
So long as you are where I go

Love you when you’re back and forth
Leading south and leading north

Love you when you’re to and fro
When you’re with me where I go

Love you as my star of morning
Wake me with a soft-lipped warning

Love you as my star of night
Hugged to sleep at end of light

Love you most and love you best
Love you to my final rest

For my wife, Debra, my central star.

And for Jenny Justice, who had this idea about inviting anyone to submit to Star Week without screening them first.
