A Christmas Poem

Inspiration struck last night when I was staring at my "Christmas Project" last year. I wrote a poem about it, just to capture the essence of the message I want to portray. (After quite a while, I finally was able to extract some creative juice from my brain. Haha.)

P.S. Read between the lines. :)

A Night Like Any Other

That night must be just like any other.

Fathers going home after work,

Mothers preparing a good dinner.

Children playing and laughing,

Their carefree laughs echoing and filling the evening air.

That day has been both tiring and fun.

It has been another wonderful day,

And a good night's sleep is a reward well earned

for every person in town.

Yet, throughout the mundaneness of that day,

Something memorable happened.

A star,

brighter than all the rest,

Is shimmering in the night sky.

A little lad who's barely eight

Is sitting by the window,

Waiting for his father to come home,

When he noticed that a star,

brighter than all the rest,

Is shimmering in the night sky.

He ran hurriedly, called his mother,

And they went out to see that star.

To that little lad and his mother,

That star is the most beautiful star they've seen.

The most beautiful star, it is, indeed.
