And the Star over Bethlehem

"In our world…a star is a huge ball of flaming gas."

“Even in your world, my son, that is not what a star is but only what it is made of."

― C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader


To wish upon a star is good enough
But maybe we should also ask that star
To pray for us. If it is a sentient being
Then it would probably like to be asked

But we should not pray for the star in turn
Because although stars have been known to fall
They have never disobeyed the Creator
And thus in Truth they have never Fallen at all

But all is well:

For even if a star is not a sentient being
God sees to it that prayers are never misplaced
