"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."
