Stars In Your Eyes Poem by Yasmin Khan

Let's rewrite the verse
O, little flower vendor

'Twinkle, twinkle little little star'
'How I wonder what you are'
Down beneath, in your eyes
Like a diamond does it shine

When Fate and world both mistreat
Then you come out in the street
'Then you show your little worth'
Twinkle, twinkle, all on earth

Carrying flowers all to sell
All around their sweet smell
Your lips sealed but eyes beg
How it's hard a price to peg

When they don't buy n just smile
Your tiny heart trembles for a while
'What'd I do if they wilt and fade?
Mom n siblings are hungry, you're afraid
