STAR CHILD A small star child fell to earth With searing firebrand of birth, Offered Holy innocence... Giving souls a recompense, Cloaked in flesh...divine the choosing, Redemption...the God-child's bruising, Earthbound for all humanity In time and space to set men free, Though small the star, His ember grew... Even when darkness overthrew. Formidable...iconoclast... Expiation for sin at last, Star child burning into night, Fills our hearts with heaven's light. by: Cheryl Ellen Baxter (c)
