A Tiny Tinsel
Star
For Sarah
While
cleaning house I found a tinsel star
A
tiny tinsel star from long ago
When
once upon a time it shone so far
Above
a Christmas scene in cotton snow
Or
maybe for a little child’s birthday
Among
the paper napkins and candled cake:
“And
now you Poof! each wishing-flame away
But
keep it a secret, that wish you make!”
And
in this star her little friends’ sweet cheers
Still
sound throughout the house after all these years
