• The plastic tree,
    built piece by piece,
    branch by branch,
    a difficult method of building.
    But perfectly done.

    The white lights,
    hung with care on every branch,
    a sparkling reminder of a winter holiday,
    perfectly hung.

    Golden garland,
    the sparks of yellow-gold fly,
    hitting the walls from the reflection
    of the lights.

    And the ornaments,
    a memory in each.
    All holding value
    of Christmas past.
    Some made by ours own hands,
    others were the perfect present.
    But all to be beloved.

    The Christmas tree,
    a holiday in itself.
