Notes About The Poem

Written on September 25, 2025

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I am a balsam fir tree


Each of my limbs is meant for adorning
With beautiful lights and jolly decorations
Ribbons flow around me, never warning
This is the time when love touches in sensations
I still remember the joy of the squirrels and birds
When I lived in the forest, beside the oaks I love
For the ache in my heart, there are really no words
But I must sacrifice my quiet life for the One above
He is worth more than many of my green hands
I am only one of this Jesus’ many fans!
