THE LITTLE MORNING STAR

Here is the Heavenly Father

all His angels He did gather

See He is instructing them

to fly down to earth from heavenly realm.

“Go to the world on Christmas eve

Grant them joy, love and peace.”

One little angel behind the door;

wanted to take the Lord’s blessings to the poor.

But Father would not allow the little fellow

To fly to the world down below

So the Little Angel to go on his mission

Again went to the Father to ask permission;

Seeing the Little Angel’s desire;

Father said, “Go, if you so aspire.”

The Little Angel in all his merry

Began to skip and make hurry!

But Father told the little one

“My dear, return before the sun is down.”

On Christmas Eve the little one flew

With the wind which loudly blew.

He kissed the lilies, played with the bees;

He caressed the ripples and swung on the trees.

Showered blessings on children around;

Tenderly touched a baby sleeping sound.

He wiped the tears and blossomed flowers;

Flew over huts, palaces and towers.

As the sun began to go down

He decided to return to heavenly town.

A house he found on the way;

Dark, sorrowful and from town far away.

Blessings were not remaining with him

For he had already given away everything.

He gazed at the sky and cheered up

As he saw shining stars high up;

Off he flew and plucked a star;

and placed it in the house so far.

Seeing the brightness he became happy

Was overjoyed truly truly !

Days later, the angel did hear

The sound of trumpets loud and clear;

Heavenly Dad was on an inspection round

To check and see if everything was sound.

The Angel saw a hole from where he had plucked the star;

And began to tremble and cry, while Father was still so far.

Mother Mary approached the little one,

And asked the angel the reason;

Our little friend narrated everything

And on conclusion began weeping.

She took the angel in Her arms;

Told him to be silent and calm.

She removed a star from Her gown;

And told him to fix it down.

In the meantime Father came;

Saw the star and realized the game.

He tapped the little Angel’s shoulder

told him, “Be happy, and don’t bother;

happy are you from today;

this star will lead and show the way.

It’s a sign of love in the sky so far;

In your memory, it will be called:

“The Little Morning Star”

With love filled blessings,

Your Sister in Christ
