Shades of my life have passed where a girl in bumble bee dress believed not in Santa Claus nor the Christmas tree though the spirit of Christmas was always alive in her heart the spirit of giving of loving and cherishing my family would sing along with me straight from their stained mouths of rough wine they were easy drinkers I would see the bright star know it would lead me to Jesus through his angels everyday angels  [This message has been edited by Dark Angel (12-14-2003 06:45 PM).] |

   (smiles) Yay! Oh Maree, I just saw your gorgeous challenge and that is a beautiful idea, yay! (angel holiday hugs) I don't have a digital camera, but it doesn't mean I don't have a special Christmas tree to share, yay! I look up to the top of the tree, wondering, do angels linger, closer than one imagines perhaps right there over you, in your own living room with eyes beaming young glee, graceful as the red ribbon worn proud, in the soft hair of this girl who feels the burning of the candlelight, and sees the heart of Jesus beating in the stars? Tonight, that is inevitable (smiles) Yay, God Bless You, your tree is sooooooo pretty, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maree, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Also, tagging along on your post, this is an old poem about Christmas in my childhood. Ornaments of love Now the sun a twinkle gives while catching dew in morning's sieve and lemons on a lemon tree are ornaments of love to me Here early morning December brings skies cleaned by Santa Ana’s wing the flowing invisible angel wind that leaves the air a sparkling And after night and winter’s chill brings crisp and clean to the browning hills I remember well the Christmas tree and icicles tossed so merrily Thrown by random hands of four while laughter sang and fire roared. My memory stores a family song with mother on the piano strong and brother somber hiding there under the stool where he could share the movement of the peddles fast the soft persistent brother task Then I would sing the carols all so grand and loud the notes did fall that candles flickered and gramps woke-up and father clapped as I stood up The memory of an angel bright that graced the room a holy sight made of laughter and dressed in song so large with us the family throng and what had made her presence known wasn’t wrapped but fully shown by us together in a place where love herself saw fit to grace. Now the sun a twinkle gives while catching dew in morning's sieve and lemons on a lemon tree are ornaments of love to me ___ thanks Maree |

While I can't quite capture Martie's personal magic, I can share this...  Angels sought a song A hymn to the Lord and Son Still the candles burn |

Maree, I had to look for your poem. This is beautiful, and I love your tree. It really does look real!!  Hugs and Happy Holidays, Ethel (I've written a poem about Christmas trees, but the picture is just one that I thought would go with the poem, not my own.) |
