(This is my cute boyhood imaginative painting of my Mistletoe Angel, yay! Enjoy! ) * * The Legend Of The Mistletoe Angel By: Noah Eaton 12/23/02 Up atop a magical blue spruce tree In the middle of a misty kaleidoscope lake Where all of Mother Nature's sparrows and bluebirds gather Where brother partridges and sister doves play There lives a Singing Sparrow, who rests Under a blanket of rivulet mistletoe Eating the ripe berries with happy chirps Then flying off by dawn wherever his heart roams The berries are fruits of life that produce love Like a parasite the warm harmony is spread Legend has it early every Christmas Eve The sparrow turns into a mysterious angel, many have said With a long dress, made entirely of poinsettia and mistletoe Wings of the northern lights, glowing bright like molten lava With a crown of sapphire and holly, worn over to match his blue eyes A face of porcelain, with a warm gingerbread smile of sangria He wears many beads around his neck which symbolize X-mas colors With long brown hair flowing gently like a grandmothers smile when she cooks dinner For her many children and grandchildren that embrace her lovingly Whose cheeks blush pink with a glow like that of a kiss from a little girl to her father His eyes are unlike any others eyes, they are rather unique When sad you can see the seven sisters in space When laughing you can see Pleiades and shooting stars When happy you can see Andromeda and north star tears stream down his face He strums an acoustic guitar with a bluebird complexion base With a robin egg neck and strings fashioned of egg nog gold When played, all the sparrows gather together and sing with him As we are all sparrows of God, with so much love to behold Every Christmas he goes to visit every little boy without a smile Every little girl without a warm bed to sleep upon And hugs the children gently and sings gentle kyries With a voice like a Bosendorfer he sings these songs, "Children, fear not, you are loved Sparrows we are, sparrows we sing May the sparrows sing with you tonight And Christmas cheer lovingly bring You are Christmas, so Christmas let be And show others Christmas you see So become Christmas and follow Thee And celebrate Christmas each day unconditionally" And he gives each golden-hearted boy and girl a hug Hope and seed to feed the songbirds So all the sparrows can sing with their church bell vocals With Charlotte Church smiles that can even be heard And encourages all Christmas is a holiday for every day For everyone to enthusiasticly celebrate Giving and sharing is an example we must set The children in our hearts always live, boys and girls with love ablaze And even after every Christmas day, the Mistletoe Angel is there Morphing back into the sparrow which sings everywhere Where God always feeds the birds with songs of praise And teaches the fledglings to fly with unicorn leaps in loves air Love is a parasite, one without a cure So spread the love and make rosy cheeks to all throughout the year As Mistletoe Angel stands on the top of your tree Smiling with little boys laughter and little girls cheers * "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |
