The Stars
by Nicole Potter
As the seven stars appear,
We will let our own star shine bright
We forgive and forget
to heaven and earth
To start fresh in a new year,
We celebrate with kindness and
thankfulness
For those who drop tears a rainbow
will appear
For those who tell us a hundred reasons
why to cry
We show them a thousand reasons
to laugh and smile
under the seven stars of
