Poem
The winter nights draw in as snow begins to fall For soon it will be Christmas Day the loveliest time of all My Christmas tree adorned with sparkling baubles and fairy lights With my dear old fairy on the top attached with a pair old tights She’s been around for oh so long she’s even older than me My Great Gran owned her first she used to sit upon her tree But oh she was much younger then and pretty as can be So don’t gaze up too closely for the years have taken their toll Her hair is coming out and her dress has begun to unroll This dress it has seen better days the moths they have been eating But overall and from afar her smile is a wonderful greeting For Christmas time is special the old traditions they live on Having my fairy on top of the tree in her dress of white chiffon If only she could talk to me such magical tales to convey Of precious times when my family past would meet for their Christmas soiree Christmases of a bygone era Oh how I yearn to be there too But alas I cannot go back in time So without any further ado I brush her hair and stitch her dress She does not look a total mess My beautiful fairy on top of the tree if only you could speak to me….. 23rd October 2018
