Reflections
~
The branches
were so full
With wonders
of forever,
Ice to
sparkle,
Snowflakes
soft
To bring us
all
together.
Eternal
joys,
lasting
peace
Were placed so
carefully
there,
Tied so firm
in the
perfect
place
With the
strongest
ties of
prayer.
Friends were
tucked
within each
bough
Laden down
with love,
The candles
burning at
each tip
Twinkling beauty
from above.
Hidden under
were the
gifts
All wrapped
up so tight
These were
the secret
treasures
To help us
make it
through the
night.
And, then on
Christmas
day
We collected such
of ours to
see
To open
up each one
For inside the
heart of me.
They all
portrayed so
much
Each filling
up our
world,
To make this
year so
blessed
A burst of
love
unfurled.
For you knew
what to say
And you knew
what to do,
You knew to
send
your love
To make each
day like
Christmas
For the year
that's new.
Now the tree
is empty
once more
And now the
tree is bare
For all the
love stored
up for our
tomorrows
Is for us to
share.
May the
memories
received
Carry us
over time,
May God's
love hold us
all in
wonder
So more
treasures we
will find
Of the
lasting kind
