*Collapsing with exhaustion and stress from a very late day at the jobsite, errands, and then church - plus being incredibly tardy for this scene...*
Please, I'll have an eggnog with brandy..no, you can make it with all three. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

the littlest angel looks up at the light from heaven, trying to see her friend...but slowly realises she doesn't need to look up, as her Auntie Molly is still with her...in her memory...
God Speed my friend...
'til we meet again.

Once I described the stars known as "the Southern Cross" to Molly. This constellation means a lot to those of us down in the southern half of the world. We decided that when she went to God, she could have a good and close look at them, close and personal, as it were. We talked about stars in general- and now she really is there, shining in our hearts all our days. And looking at stars and dancing across the heavens.
"What a lot of bright stars there are in the sky this Christmas"

a long time ago i spoke to molly and was upset and she told me to look at the stars, and hope...cos in Lord of the Rings Sam never looses hope as long as he can see the stars...
It was on a starry night
when the hills were bright
and our friend was sleeping
sleeping calm and still
and all the angels sang for her
the bells of heaven rang for her
as our father called his daughter home at last
--------------------
and all the angels sang for him, the bells of heaven rang for him
for a boy was born, king of all the world

the littlest angel holds the baby Jesus' gently, and reaches up to any of the other cast members who are there...
in the semi dark stage lit by a bright star, they stay, keeping quiet and waiting for the time when the little baby comes again...
"to wipe every tear from their eyes"

The shepherds came, rough as they are
They'd no need to follow a star
They took a bath, for they did smell
They even had clean clothes as well
Then they did just as they were told
A gift was theirs, greater than gold
Gave the child a purple sheep
A treasure always he can keep
They all worshipped, both sheep and men
And the curtain falls on our scene ten.
Except a final word from me
My own tribute to Miss Molly.
Although I did not know you well
Like many others I can tell
Of the joy your presence brought
Of your kindliness of thought
Of happiness you brought our way
And of you now, we think and pray.
