Oh, Christmas Tree

Evergreen

By Colleen WaltersPublished about a year ago 1 min read

you are beautiful,

as you wait for your moment

to be taken home.

+

White lights? Or colored…

Tinsel or no? Shiny globes or..

Maybe something plain.

+

When you were planted,

did you dream of a future

where you’d be cherished?

+

Carefully chosen,

handled with care and nurtured,

a space picked for you.

+

Your fragrant boughs

hold treasured memories, and new,

draped with light and love.

+

Your time is up soon,

but you’ll live on in their hearts

as their Christmas tree.
