The Wonders of the Night Sky

Oh the night sky, a canvas so grand,

Filled with stars that dance and sway,

Each one twinkling, shining so bright,

A symphony of light, a celestial play.

The moon shines bright, reflecting the sun,

A guiding light in the darkness of night,

The stars are scattered, a mesmerizing sight,

A story written, just waiting to be right.

From distant suns to shooting stars,

The universe holds secrets untold,

Each star unique, a mystery to behold

Where dreams come true, where magic is raw,

A place where your spirit becomes unstoppable.

So gaze upon the night sky, With a sense of wonder and delight,

And feel the magic, feel it come alive,

For in the night sky, anything is possible, tonight!
