Fallen Stars
By Clarence G. Underwood
Some say that stars from heaven do fall!
We look up on a clear night and at that
Moment we see a sight. The heavens seem
To fall to the earth. A new stone has been
Given birth. A meteorite is what it’s called.
It wasn’t really a star at all. But some have
Claimed they saw a fire in the sky and believe
A fallen star would probably come to earth
That way! Meteors are really just dust and
Stones in the sky. Perhaps once in a while
They may be a rock which falls from up high.
A piece of a comet or some other celestial
Debris. Watch out below we don’t want it to
Hit you or me! But we can collect them and
Put them on display. That way someone can
See them each and every day!
