Every child a star - He's the Milky Way

Tear rolls down the girl's eye
3 years since the father died
if she had a morsel to be fried
faded frock be brighter dyed
she hugs memories that abide
stiffens her brow for the tide
a merry go round for a ride
dirty rag her wound to hide
sad mangy dog by her side
surveys d‚cor with eyes wide
that she can sing a little pride
earn a dime if they be kind
behind the face a quick mind
noble soul for her to find

Babe was born midst dung & hay
Dumb asses herald no bells to say
King of the poor born no bills to pay
Carpenter & maid Him in manger lay
He will speak of truth life the Way
Mighty Herod seeks to way lay
Gold and myrrh aptly portrait
King born for pain - fear allay
Little girl take heart 'tis your day
Not in Hotels -He comes your Way
Wine to clean your wound & play
Love better than toys hopeful ray
Eat drink & be merry - don't dismay
Every child a star - He's the Milky Way
