Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

Trimming the Tree

TRIMMING THE 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

Lee Ramage September 9, 2011 at 4:15 AM Curtis, I just love this poem. You were right, that captures the anticipation so well. I have 3 Xmas trees in total up at each year. The 14 ft one in my front hall, a 7ft in my Living room and a 4 ft one that I put up on a table in my Dining room. My house looks beautiful to me, maybe not to others, but I love it. Take care Lee
