Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

Trimming the Christmas Tree

TRIMMING THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Once a year across the land
A festive time is carefully planned
Part of this time just has to be
The anticipation of trimming the tree

It's always fun to shop and choose
Exactly the tree you wish to use
You take it home and once it's there
You decorate it with loving care

Special ornaments bring great delight
When placed on the tree to reflect the light
Each handmade by a tiny tot
Placed on the tree in a special spot

Kept and cared for all these years
Now hung with memories that bring on tears
You think of Christmases long since past
And marvel that time can move so fast

Those tiny tots now grown and gone
Will soon have children of their own
To teach how special it can be
When the time has come to trim the tree

Funom Makama December 18, 2018 at 10:55 AM Lord God! This has excited me to my soul... My spirit dances like a redeemed bastard with your lines... Keep on writing dear friend. Curtis Moorman December 18, 2018 at 11:19 AM Funom, I have never received a prayer as a comment to any poem I have written. How humbled and honored I feel by your prayerful remarks. May the peace that passeth all understanding as stated in Philippians 4:7 be yours this Christmas, My Brother.
