Once a star shone down
On a helpless world
Offering its rays to all
Who would grasp its splendor,
And take into their hearts
The throb of hope,
The blanket of love,
Flowing from its beams,
A gift to any and all
Who would touch its transcendence,
And use its magic
To warm the world
With an embrace
Of permanent peace.
