Little Xmas Tree

I 
                              am a
                       little Xmas tree.
                   I am made of plastic.
          You would not know to look at me.
      Because I look so realistic when decorated.
                                  I 
                           have been
                         with the same
                     family for many years.
                Watching the little ones grow
            from toddlers to grown adults now.
                                  I 
                             still see
                      the excitment in
               their eyes on Xmas morning.
      The rush to open the presents beneath me.
 The joy of giving and sharing gifts among themselves.
                                  I
                               am a
                        little Xmas tree.
                      I twinkle and shine
              merrily through Xmas windows.
          Until the season ends on January sixth.
    When I am folded up and put in storage again.
                                  II      
                                  II
                                  II
                                  II
                                  II
                                  II

And may 2017 bring you renewed love of life and a recipient for those amazing love poems. Or at least a lady in black stockings Tim.
