Customs Change With Years

A wreath on door once announced death
Not death now but famous birth
A birth_a Savior drew breath
Baby's breath salvation for earth

The whole earth rejoices_praises
Praises the Savior who freed it
It has been freed from all curses
Curses gone forever_joy fits

The crown fits the King whom we praise
We praise by  Wreath and with breath
A door invites over ages
For ages wreath represents birth_death

Yes, the symbol of the wreath changes from one of death to one of birth during Christmas, Sara. You're off to a great start on this one! Love, Carolyn
