the tree
in an unused corner
stands the tree
placed carefully in a pail
surrounded by a red felt skirt
shiny baubles and coloured lights
hang from every limb
and on the topmost branch
an angel dressed all in white
in each little hand
is a tiny lamp
adding sparkle and brilliance
to the trinkets hung below
under the tree
an assortment of gifts
gaily wrapped, lovingly placed
Christmas remembered.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart
