The Ornament
The Ornament
A cold December morning,
sparkling air so clean
We hold a tiny ornament
a snowflake crystalline
Suspended by a wire,
a’ glisten in the light
Searching for the perfect tree
to hold it ever tight
An image so created
for all the world to see
In winter formed illusion
of snowfall majesty
Along a trodden pathway
a wooden footbridge calls
Initials carved the railing
neath whispered leaves a’ fall
An evergreen does shimmer
‘pon branches flows the breeze
Magnificent it beckons
among the many trees
So chosen for its beauty
along the water’s shore
To place this silver snowflake
to last for evermore
A symbol of the season
and love to share this scene
Affection fills this gesture
now swept within a dream
For in this forest setting,
a little peace to find
Does sit within this snowflake
to tell the world you’re mine
As spring shall bring the roses
and summer, days so warm
Fall, the vibrant colors
come winter we are born
And every year that follows,
if you accept my hand
An ornament the world will see
on each tree in the land
