Christmas Tree Reminder
Christmas has been over for three days.
My husband ask
May we take the Christmas tree down yet?
There is no way.
It has been up over a year.
It is staying up.
I tell him no.
We use it as a night light.
It is a mere three feet tall,
But it reminds me of last Christmas
when I still had my mother.
It will stay up forever
A night light that reminds me
That our time is limited
That we need to live our favorite light
As we are all extinguished in the end
Becoming starlight
