My Mother's Christmas Angel

She sat grandly on our Christmas tree hair of shining spun gold her buttons sparkling dress of white lace an Angelic smile. Her wings a shimmering silver hue We watched each year softly being placed with loving care atop the tree. My mother standing back telling Dad, move her just to the left Phil, no, now right dear, now forward. Perfect! The years have now come and gone Mom and Dad have passed away the Angel lay in her box now her dress dirty and worn hair frizzy & unkempt buttons gone astray. Memories are made and then stored just like Mom's beautiful Angel her radiance never forgotten shining so very bright each Christmas.
