An Atlas of Stars - as written by Shannon at 7 years of age


There are so many stars at night,
Shinning beautiful with their light,
They find a way to shine on us,
Up high in the sky, they find a way to love us.

I always see the stars before I go to bed,
Mommy says, "Lay down your head,
And pray for the angels you see in the stars.
You will be one of them one day,
Looking down on the earth with shinning love,
You will be with the Atlas of Stars!"

How come there are so many stars?
How come they are called an atlas?
How come they only show up at night?
Mostly, why are angels stars with their wings so bright?

Stars are pretty!
Life would be so sad without them.
No love would shine on us,
The night is so beautiful when you know
That angels, OUR angels, are in the stars!


I know how to spell shining now. Also, I don't plagerize sections of bedtime prayers.
