My April Christmas Tree

Dearest Tree:


Ah, my sweet white tree,
That's on day and night.
Keeps my soul full of hope.
And, yes shields me from fright!


I wear a soft, glittery mask
To stop hopelessness from 
entering my eyes door.
No room for dour poetry or news.
It is God who I adore!

Laughter, family and friends
come here with absolutely no masks.
Make each day a joy, with a huge
smile ~ fulfilling every task.

Positive movies, the best music by
Brahms, Jobim or Brubeck.
Add a calico feline to love and to hug,
makes each day, so lovely, so very
sparkling and perfect!

God your family and of course your cat and the tree. Bit of music, it can be Christmas every day. No doom and gloom news allowed, better still turn off the TV. Tom

Exactly, Tom! I had to make a choice! Live in fear or in faith! -))... Also reading The Epoch Times. Is online...dedication to Truth and Tradition. About as far from gloom as I had hoped. Going to subscribe in paper form,USA. Nothing like the leftist propoganda in current newspapers, meaning...boo, masks and lies, exagerrating death numbers Arg.pS. Cannot stop that Grim Reaper. Don't people get it? No! Panagiota xx
