The Tree

Lighting up the night Behold, beauty shining bright Lights all aglow Upon freshly fallen snow Stands a solitary tree Branches hanging merrily 11/30/13 Christmas cards picture of a single lite tree.

Phyllis, I want to see you add what is hanging onto this tree into your description!! Maybe some berries or some leaves are hanging merrily on it? I really enjoyed this one and at the end, I just thought it would be cool to know why the branches were hanging merrily! Maybe it's a new mink coat of snow!!
