Multiple choice

What is the tone of the poem?


What is a shinning star,
But a brilliant light from afar
But now it is brought close
No longer just the heavenly host 
The energy God has made,
Through the Word of Christ he gave
The star is near and warm,
When the focus clears the storm 
Much nearer is the inner light now,
That transforms one within
So the shinning star is the Tao,
Of all on earth who will win 
The prize of life for the angelic,
For those who reflect the truth
Not those who over embellish,
And see Gods' shinning star as their root 
The shinning star is born on earth,
From the time of Jesus birth
All who believe know this,
Due to his joyful bliss 
Lets all strive to be,
The shinning star for all to see
Among all the world let us be well,
For the shinning star is for all to tell 
This shinning angelic star is bright within,
When we banish the path of sin
May we all be blessed as Gods' child
And become a shinning star; meek and mild!
