Children Following the Star
on Christmas Eve
For Jack and Cate
Who aren’t exactly children now
Except to us old folks who love them
Good children dress warmly to watch for
the star
The star of Bethlehem, the shepherds’
star
The star of the magi, true-guiding star
And more than all of these, the
children’s star
If children fall asleep during the royal
night
It is fitting and just; they wait for the
Light -
The star has led them in its arcing
flight
To worship God in Christmas’ ancient rite
Then home to a late supper, and so to
their beds -
The Infant Jesus blesses our dear little sleepyheads!
