Gratitude - a little ditty

I previously re-wrote the "star light, star bright" poem to go from a wish preamble, to a thanks preamble:

(original)
Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight:
[insert secret wish here]

(re-write)
Star light, star bright,
Shining star I see tonight,
I fill with joy at Omni's might
and give thanks for this tonight:
[insert cause for gratitude here]

But I've recently found myself making a new minor, but substantial, alteration:

(REDUX)
Star light, star bright,
Shining star I see tonight,
I fill with joy at Omni's might
and give thanks FOR THIS NIGHT
(emphasis added for this post)

Nice, huh? Yeah, I like it :)
