In a sky filled with stars, one shone more brightly and led them on.
A shorter journey from the hills, leaving flocks unguarded.
The night sky had been ablaze with the glory of an angel choir.
They came to a stable, straw underfoot, the warmth of animals quietly breathing,
a man and a woman with tired eyes, and a baby.
A baby, new in the world. A baby greater than angels, greater than stars.
Wishing you a Christmas shining with joy and a New Year full of peace and hope.
