Star Song
by Elizabeth B. Rooney
There had been stars
Year after desert year,
A cold light
And a distant
For stars are never near.
Until the light
That lighted all the world
Consented to be born.
The night He came
The stars swung low
And sang
As morning stars had sung
Creation’s morn.
So sing we now.
Star-crossed,
We sing the bright
And morning star
Shining among us,
Banishing our night.
from All Miracle: Gift Wrapped (Brigham Farm Publishing, 2001)
