A Tree
best friend
comfort and shade
keeps secrets
lips sealed
children climb to the very top
keep them safe
catch a breeze
hold your breath
selected on cold yule night
cut in the forest
yuletide symbol in it’s prime
bundled and trucked
by the window placed
it happens every year
first the lights are strung
the old ornaments unwrapped
little red Santa you made in school
snowman of paper covered with glitter
bird in a nest sings his song
tiny guitar mouse trap
hang the icicles
carefully one by one
last of all the star for the top
what a sight
like a bandbox
In the night
sparkling bright
raise a toast
and declare
you are the best of all
Christmas tree
