My entry for Susanna Leonard HIll’s Holiday Writing Contest.
Five Twinkling Stars Dancing on a Cloud
By Susan Elizabeth Schipper
WC 168
Five twinkling stars dancing on a cloud
One jumped down and was so proud
She saw something that made her smile
Could it be a sweet little child?
Four twinkling stars dancing on a cloud
One jumped down and heard something loud
She wasn’t sure if she was right
Could it be sheep baaing in the night?
Three twinkling stars dancing on a cloud
One jumped down and saw a crowd
Gathered round a stable on a hillside
She wondered what could be inside
Two twinkling stars dancing on a cloud
One jumped down and saw three wise men bowed
Before a manager littered with straw
She saw that they were filled with awe
One twinkling star dancing on a cloud
She jumped down and joined the crowd
This little star shone so bright
Indeed, this was a very special night
Five Twinkling stars now as a chorus sing
“Glory to the new born king”
One bright light to show the way
Peace on Earth this first Christmas Day!
Wishing you joy, love and a peace filled holiday season, celebrating the December holiday you hold near to your heart!
