When Making Stars

When making stars for your daughter,
it is important to be careful.
Try and retry as needed the initial folds,
but remember that mistakes can be recovered.
Understand that where the paper ends
is not the end; ends can be adjusted.
Force no point to grow by hasty pressure of
your thumbnail on the side. Trust
that you will find a giving place,
and that the star will grow with only
guidance from your hand.
