Holding a Star

Twinkle, twinkle little star

Why are you so very far?

 

In the night sky you are grand

I want to hold you in my hand

 

But you're far off and way up high

And I can't get into the sky

 

The best that I can ever hope

Is looking through a telescope

 

When I do you shine so clear

Then it seems you're very near

 

I wish I may, I wish I might

Hold a real star tonight

 

I walked along the ocean sand

I slow. I stop. And then I stand

 

I look down and on the ground

It was like a miracle I found

 

Lots of stars are right in reach

I gather starfish on the beach
