Notes About The Poem

A Christmas Tree For Jesus

I was walking the snow covered forest
     and came upon a beautiful fir tree
and I was struck by the bright glistening branches
       dusted with beautiful new fallen snow
             shimmering in the moonlight  
        with stars shining through the branches
      it reminded me of Jesus's journey to Earth
oh, I will decorate that fir tree in the woods
       because I could not imagine cutting it down
           so, I ran home for baubles and things

        Things made of glass and ceramic
     also brought garland, tinsel and a gold star
oh, it felt so lovely decorating the tree in the snow
     and with great respect for the birth of Jesus
             I placed a star on top
       and when I was finished I stood
    to behold the most beautiful fir tree
with stars shining through the branches
       and suddenly the star on top began to sparkle
         for this was a Christmas tree for Jesus
