Katherine's Starry Night
The moon is a pearl in the velvet sky,
A gentle light for you, Katherine, my dear,
The stars are twinkling way up high,
They whisper soft for you to hear.
A silver glow on Katherine's face,
The night sky holds you in its keep,
The moonbeams dance with gentle grace,
While you are drifting off to sleep.
The constellations softly gleam,
They watch over Katherine's rest,
A peaceful, quiet, gentle dream,
You are so deeply, warmly blessed.

What does the name Katherine mean?
Origin — Greek
From the Greek Aikaterinē, borne by the legendary St Catherine of Alexandria.
Where sources disagree: The original meaning is unknown. The familiar gloss “pure” comes from a later association with katharos, “pure” — which is what changed the spelling from an original -t- to -th-. The link is medieval, not etymological.
We follow the standard reference works on given names, and we say so plainly when a meaning is unsettled rather than choosing the prettiest one.
