There's Something About Ma Ma's Christmas Tree

There's something about Ma Ma's Christmas tree ornaments tinsel blinking lights and popcorn strewn about by her grandchildren's little hands to plainly see the angel nestled on top blessing for all who comes passes she fresh scent of pine lingering about ticking our noses like a soft country breeze presents big and small stacked upon each other for her big family bows falling from the gifts tightly wrapped only by she needles upon the skirt sticking to our hands and our little knees Christmas bulbs reflecting off our silly little faces ever so jolly Mama taking snap shots of us all standing in front of her six foot tree but nothing was more beautiful that could be given to she Except for my heart who I miss giving to Ma Ma who always stood by me RIP MAMA {1934 - 2005} Love Ya And Miss Ya
