~ The Little Star ~

There was a star so small indeed
He said, "I would like to feel a need,
when God's Son comes to earth
Can I be the star to guide to His birth?"

This small star's glow was a bright head,
He wanted to be the star that led
the Wise Men to the glorious place
and overtake the other stars in space.

The little star bided his days in wait,
to be sure he wouldn't be late...
He counted the hours till that night,
when the Angel said "the time is right."

The moment came, the babe was born;
Shepherds in fields from their flocks were torn.
Gifts of frankincense and myrrh they carried,
yet in their direction they never tarried,
to the manger where Jesus lay

The little star led them on their way.
Three wise men, their way he did light,
all other stars were out of sight
on that first Christmas night.
