A Star! Poem by Ernestine Northover

A Star!

Rating: 5.0


A star shone out so very bright,
Not just a little, simple one,
But one so special in our sight,
A new life had begun.

A star shone out so very clear,
Hung way up in a cloudless sky,
Over a stable, where a dear
Babe, heard a lullaby.

A star shone out so very bold,
Showing where this child was laid,
With a halo of the purist gold
Around his head, displayed.

A star shone out so very fine,
Leading us all to worship him,
One small human, pure and divine,
Our cup's full to the brim.

A star shone out so very great,
Beaming down on that Christmas birth,
And bands of angels did cantillate,
Praising God across our earth.

Ernestine>>>Now this is the Christmas that my parents brought me up on... My mom wrote a tad, but had no interest in Poetry, so she never wrote something like this, so vivid & mellifluous...But her verbal stories always painted a picture, as a child, i sware i thought i could reach-up & touch! i'll just bet you could do that too, young lady....Beautiful conveyence....

A warm and uplifting poem Ernestine. The way you have echoed the first part of the first line in each stanza really strengthens the image. Beautifully written. Justine
