Spruce Christmas

The spruce tree in the living-room was tall and beautiful,
Christmas with our relatives is celebrated and revered.

Reminders of a Christmas wedding to my husband Walter and the birth  my
honorable sons Kirk and Erik,
Now Kirk is married to his lovely wife Jenn and they have two good children Maya and Merrick  and live in British Columbia 

Erik and Lisette had a beautiful Hawain wedding in Costa Rica,
They sent mother beautiful pictures, Erik looked very handsome and Lisette
his wife looked very beautiful.


Beautiful spruces seen  by the lake , grew tall and with their branches extending,
Pine cones seen everywhere, to be gathered by friends.

The blue spruce is my favorite, we had a spruce on our lawn when I was young,
We planted spruces in the backyard of our parents' beautiful and elegant house.

They have grown to quite a height, and look majestic in the backyard of the house,
Spruces tell a story, happy days with our relatives and friends.

Going for walks with someone that you love at Christmas time,
The tree decorated with beautiful ornaments and Christmas lights.

Now I have an artificial spruce in my living-room, decorated nicely,
Stays there all year in praise of Christmas, there's a beautiful angel our
parents gave us.

The many Christmases we celebrated with our parents and grandparents,
They are all good memories, we treasure for years to come.
