Christmas Tree

 

My tree stands high and majestic,

Glowing with lights and glitter,

Reflecting the beauty of Christmas time.

 

My tree stands alone,

As do I,

During this warm and magical time.

 

My tree stands alone, but her branches

Are adorned with tokens of affection

And lights to shine out love.

 

During her short life

She is admired as

Her magic touches our lives.

 

My tree stands alone?

Nay, 'tis not like that way

Which we all must stand alone.

 

For it is rare among us

Who knows the joy of providing

Such beauty and comfort.

 

'Tis rare among us

That we may stand alone

Radiant of love and adoration.
