O' Christmas Tree
~Linda L. Dowd ~

Once upon a frosty morn,
I spied a tree in full adorn.
~ Outside my window sparkling bright,
Shimmering in the morning light.

Tiny bells in crimson red,
And ornaments of gingerbread.
Golden stars reflecting rays,
Lifting me from my malaise.

Who had spun the magic there,
Upon the pine so sad and bare?
~ Breathing life in to its sap,
Waking it from winter’s nap?

From branches hung wee crystal balls,
A thousand lights and pixie dolls.
A mini Santa with eight reindeer,
And smiling snowmen full of cheer.

I donned my coat and ran outside.
The pine stood tall and beamed with pride.
I sang the song, “O’ Christmas Tree”,
I swear that it did smile at me.

Once upon a frosty morn,
I spied a tree in full adorn.
~ Outside my window sparkling bright,
Shimmering in the morning light.

Loved it....believe it or not we're just putting our tree up..but the flu and bronchitis has given us the dickens so we're a little slow getting started...
But we're gaining fast.

Enjoyed this my friend...

Oh, you talented angel...the beauty you see,
caught by your pen for the world and me.

With such delight, bright whimsy you share,
smiles heart out, and takes me right there.

For all of the glory, the wonder, the love,
God gave you, Earth Angel, the heart of a dove!

Thank you!   

Merry Christmas, Linda.
