Tonight the star shone down upon the CROSS...
a reminder from Jesus that All is Not Lost?
The couple sat quietly in the cold on the bench...
while others milled around outside the fence.
For a moment all was calm in the still of the night...
as I blew on my hands and zipped my jacket up tight.
And I thought as I prayed for guidance and Love...
Was it a night like this when his Star shined above?
Was the air that night this calm, and cool, and crisp...
was he really born on a night as peaceful as this?
Or were Mary and Joseph scared of what was in store...
did they believe in their God and know there was more?
I noticed a tear slowly slide down my cheek
as I prayed for the unborn, the sick, and the weak.
I prayed for the ones who spread all the hate...
and for all those that families have lost of late. 
I prayed for my daughter, my wife, and my son…
And I prayed for yours too…before I was done.
As I finished my prayers…I knew all was not lost…
I felt in my heart and my bones as I stared at that CROSS!
