"the Wreath"
The wreath that hangs on your door or your window
invites a cold, lonely soul to come look and see.
The wreath is like the circle of life for
the holidays that makes everyone
just a tad "bit crazy" this time of year.
The big red bow fashioned like
a tie to some colorful, fresh smelling foilage.
"Is it the pine, oak or cedar you smell?"
You just want to look and see where
the wreath will fall this time.
The wreath is a solitary item
that says, "Come, look and wonder
what something plain can be made beautiful
for all people to see."
A sign that cold, lonely souls should gather themselves
and seek out the wreath.
The wreath is one of the keys that will
lead you to a place of
forgiveness, mercy, friendship and warmth.
"Will you come stay a while?"
"We are all friends here in need of company."
