Sirius the Christmas Star
Legend has it long ago,
a star named Sirius one night arose;
and glowing in the dark night sky,
he saw some royalty passing by.
Now stars are quite amazing things
and Sirius flew high as if with wings;
for he knew that royalty was on a search,
for a child who recently was birthed.
Sirius knew it was his destiny,
to lead them, for the child to see;
and so he took in a great breath,
he knew somehow he would be blessed.
With that breath he floated high
lighting up the great night sky.
A king who spotted him, pointed out,
he was no star to pout about.
They must follow a light so bright,
far into the darkest night.
With his best glow he led them on,
through the desert, here and yon.
Until they spotted a dim lit building,
just a plain one, with no gilding.
Yet, inside they found the babe,
in a manger, warm and concave.
Sirius, shone his brightest yet,
so hot that he began to sweat.
He watched them all with the family,
so proud this moment, oh to see.
And the wondrous gifts they gave,
to this special little babe;
Frankincense, Myrrh and even Gold,
Oh what a night did unfold!
They say that dog is God spelled backwards,
whether or not, probably doesn’t matter.
Sirius known as the, “dog star”;
he shone the brightest from afar.
So at Christmastime if you see,
a glowing star atop a tree;
Think of that ever brightening light,
a heralding beacon one, long ago night.
