The Wishing Star



The Wishing Star

A starfish in the crystal blues
Of the clear tropic seas
Would pine her little life away
She longed and longed and longed for the day
When she would …

Twinkle
Shimmer
Shine
Glow

Like her cousins in their night-time shows
But she didn’t know …

That a starfish in the crystal blues
Drifting along a sandy floor
Was meant to reflect gold sunny sprays
In a masterpiece on grand display
That inspires with …

Beauty
Patterns
Art
Shapes

In perfect designs that our Creator creates
So God whispered to her …

That a starfish in the crystal blues
Sprinkling the sea with perfect taste
Is a guiding star that points the way
To His wisdom kind and bottomless grace
That fills hearts with …

Content
Laughter
Joy
Hope

As in His love we trust and grow
So she went with his flow …

That a starfish in those crystal blues
Settling serene on sandy beds
Should not be swept by the current’s sway
But light her world from her rightful place
Glowing with …

Honour
Wisdom
Pride
Faith

Reaching new heights by running her race
So now she knows …

Her royal favour in His sight
She’s a beauty rare

Unique
Special
A five-star delight
