In the heavens
A star arose
Flickering, sputtering
Then, shining bright
Tiny in comparison to other stars
Little Star
Had BIG personality
So, she thought she should shine brighter
One day, the Creator came by
To check on Little Star
Making sure she was being
Who he created her to be
“Oh, Little Star! Little Star!
How are you today?” Creator asked.
“I’m…fine,” she replied.
“Only fine?” he asked.
“I feel so small and left out.
No one can see my light.
I try and try to shine so bright like the others,
But I can’t.
“Oh, Little Star…, Creator said.
I created you to be my unique Little Star.
To shine as you are
Nothing more and nothing less.”
“But, Creator, why?” she asked.
He replied, “ I created you in pure Joy,
To be just that.
To shine as Joy only can.”
Little Star thought and thought
About what the Creator said.
Then, with such excitement
Little Star exclaimed,
“Oh, well, then I will just do that!
I will shine my Joy brightly for all to see.
To bring Joy to others who need it most.
To point them towards Joy.”
The Creator smiled and laughed.
“Little Star, though you are small in stature
Your heart of joyful light fills with my Joy
Let it go.
Release it to all around you.
I created you to do that very thing.”
Little Star became thoughtful for a moment.
“I will, she exclaimed. I will be my Joy-filled best for you, Creator.
And for all those who see my Joy-light.
Let Joy Arise!” sang Little Star.
