Memory Wreath

Each year before Christmases of the past Past visitors came to trim my holiday tree Tree with ornaments homemade to last Lasting, unique gifts of their artistry Artistry now shown in a wreath on my door Door filled with treasures I was blessed to receive Received gifts from those who are with us no more More reminders that love in my heart will never leave *For Dr. Ram's "Wreath" Contest. (Eight-line quatrain/rhyme using the last word of each line as the first word of the next line.) Merry Christmas, everyone!
