Poem Title:
Poem
They come in all sorts of sizes,shapes and colors All hold their own characteristics and are unique from one another You can purchase them in original hunters green, pretty pink or innocent white Whatever tickles your fancy for your own Christmas delight I prefer the real deal no matter the weather or condition Since a small child myself, it's been a family tradition We don't head out and select one from a tree farm We take our kids for a hike into the woods and choose a glorious tree filled with charm We chop down our tree and haul it back to the truck We found the perfect one for us and bow our heads giving thanks for having such luck We get it home and stand it up in the same tree stand I had with my family as a child We take the time to trim it and give it extra tender loving care so it doesn't look so wild As we break out all of the decorations the kids smile with glee They get a twinkle in their eyes as they help spread them upon our tree Once the lights and decorations with garland are on we still arent done For the kids the fun has just begun We let them add a whole bunch of different colored and flavored candy canes We let them pluck one from the tree each day until Christmas,another walk down memory lane We did change a tradition and added some of our own for as a child myself we'd place a star upon the top of our tree Now with my own children instead we place an angel in memory of loved ones gone before us for everyone to see 12/14/2017
