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
