The Star Polisher
I have a great job in the universe of occupations. What do I do? I'm
a "star polisher." It's a very important job. If you want to know how
important, just go out at night and look at the stars twinkling and
sparkling. You see, I'm a teacher. The stars are the children in my class.
My job is to take them--in whatever shape they come--and shine and buff them
and then send them out to take their place as bright, twinkling beacons in
the sky. They come into my room in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they're
bent, tarnished, dirty, crinkly, or broken. Some stars are cuddly and soft.
Some are prickly and thorny. As I buff and polish, I train and teach my
little stars; I tell them that the world cannot do without them. I tell
them they can do anything they set their minds to do. I tell them they can
be the brightest, shiniest stars in thesky and the world will be a better
place because of them. Each night as I look at the sky, I'm reminded of my
very important job and awesome responsibility. Then I get my soft buffing
cloth and my bottle of polish in preparation for tomorrow...for my class of
little stars.
