STARS

Stars #1

At a performance or at a game
Know that all the stars are not seen
There are those who work backstage, too
And those who keep the playing field green.

There are those on set design and lights
There are those who maintain equipment
There are those who clean the theatre
And those in the marketing department.

So when you cheer, when you applaud
Remember - not all stars take a bow
There are those who have worked tirelessly
Who don't catch the spotlight now!


Stars #2

If you add "I" to 'stars'
You get 'stairs'!!
So - look up, reach up,
Climb up!
