scraggly let's face it not quite Charlie Brown scraggly but scraggly just the same you were alive, though and that's the thing new house, new yard-- --needed you Christmas did, too. so killed two birds with one you am i really tearing up over a tree? you're so much more thirty years of memories little boys in roper boots and cowboy hats riding rocker horses grew into little leaguers then men overnight and a sweet baby girl blessed us and went from tea sets to barbies then... boys before her daddy could ever be ready while you grew the house grew, too moved you first to fatten the driveway then again for an addition finally, to the corner you're in --you just needed more room for all the memories you keep with me, now oh, Christmas tree
