“Being
The very first visitors
To greet the tiny newborn child,
Every animal on earth
Can magically speak,
On Christmas
Eve.”
An Ancient Polish Proverb
I traipsed along a forested path, late one Christmas Eve,
And, what I heard that magical night, I still cannot believe.
The air was calm; the night was still; the snow was gently falling,
As I came upon a wooded clearing, I heard some creatures calling.
“Hark!” sang the little Sparrow, in his perch, high up in the trees,
“I do believe that the time does now draw near! I truly do believe!”
Squirrel now peered skyward, and he suddenly became very excited,
“Why, you’re right, you’re right, Mr. Sparrow! Oh, I’m so delighted!”
“What’s all this chatter about?” soon asked Baby Rabbit to his Dad.
“It’s here! It’s here! It’s time for all of us to rejoice, and not be sad!”
“Why, what do you mean, Father? What are you trying to tell me?”
“The Christmas Star has come, my son. Just look, and you will see.”
Young Baby Rabbit gazed up to the heavens, and he soon saw it too,
And somehow, in his tiny furry heart, the magic and the glory grew.
“What is this star, which shines so bright, this snowy woodland night?
It’s beautiful, it’s wonderful, and how my heart rejoices at this sight!”
"Why, it’s the Christmas Star, my little boy. It visits us once a year,
It brings us all a splendid message, and fills our hearts with cheer!”
“What is the message this bright star brings?” asked Baby Bunny,
“Let me answer that,” chattered Squirrel. “Now listen to me, sonny.”
“Once each year, on Christmas Eve, the Christmas Star does shine,
Reminding every creature on Earth, of a birth most ancient in time.
“On Christmas Day, so very long long ago, a tiny baby was born,
This baby’s name was Jesus; He was, and is, The Son of our Lord.”
“He came to preach good will and peace, towards both man and beast,
And every year we celebrate his birth, at our wondrous Christmas feast.”
“You mean our Creator’s son was born this very day, so very long ago?”
“Yes, Baby Rabbit, now rejoice in your heart, because you finally know.”
“Oh what joy! What joy! To now know of this wondrous tale!
Suddenly, my heart is flying, Father! I can actually feel it sail!”
“It can, my son, especially on this very magical Christmas night;
Now come, let us head back home, reflecting on this glorious sight.”
Suddenly, before my very eyes, these joyous animals now disappeared;
I stood there in that clearing all alone, and to the heavens, I, too, peered.
I remained there for a very long time, gazing at that shiny heavenly feature,
And truly marveling in my mind, at the wisdom of these tiny forest creatures.
The star they spoke of truly did shine for me that magical Christmas Eve night,
And, as I slowly turned and I headed home, my heart, too, reveled at this sight.
