Lucky boy Levi clumsily tripped upon
star
Fallen from the twilight sky up so very
far.
He pulled it from the glittering snow
in which it was stuck
Thinking that this splendid star might
just bring him luck.
In his pocket he dropped the star that
shone out so bright
That Levi's shadow was hidden by the
glowing halo light.
Frozen by the winter cold, he hurried
to get back home
Hopping in the perfect snow that
reminded him of foam.
Very slowly and very quietly, Levi
opened the door
And slid through the little crack lit
across the floor.
Sneaking on tipy-toe, he avoided the
creaking planks
Making sure to make no noise lest his
mother wakes.
He nearly reached his bedroom door that
was so very close
But half way past the sitting room,
Levi suddenly froze!
Cozily by the cracking fire his father
sat alone
Sure to see the blazing light that from
Levi's pocket shone.
Closing both his fearful eyes, Levi
waited to hear
His father's voice, so angry and
course, ringing in his ear.
Three long seconds had finally gone
without a single sound
Other than his father's snore mixed
with his heartbeat's pound.
Levi sighed with great relief and
scurried to his bed
Jumping in without delay and laying
down his head.
But before he closed his sleepy eyes,
the star he did withdraw
And wished a wish for a little sis from
Mr. Santa Claus.
.
Then under his pillow he hid the star
so no one would ever know
But shortly after he fell asleep, the
star lost its glow.
Morning came with the rising sun, but
Levi didn't wake
Until his mom kissed his head and gave
him a little shake.
“Levi Dear, my lucky boy, there is
something I have to tell.
Our family is going to grow by one. My
belly is going to swell.”
Levi jumped up from his bed, excitement
showing in his eyes
Never in his short three years had he
received such a surprise.
“Is a girl? Is it a girl?” Levi
eagerly asked.
“It is, my dear, a little girl.
You're a big brother at last.”
Bouncing upon his comfy bed, Levi
shouted with delight
While his mother watched lovingly her
son take to flight.
His mother left her joyful son who
laughed for quite some time
Until he realized that just last night
he made a wish in rhyme.
“Starlight, star bright, first star I
see tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might, have the
wish I wish tonight.”
Remembering at last the shining star,
he pushed his pillow aside
Revealing nothing but shimmering dust
where the star once lied.
Smiling a smile rather large, Levi said
goodbye
But not before thanking the star for
his sister Morgan Skye.
