Levi's Lucky Star

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.
