NORWEGIAN GIFT


from the ABC set CHRISTMAS TALES - TRADITIONS

A gift arrives each year
From across the sea
A gift from the people of Oslo
An annual gift of a Christmas tree

Given with gratitude
To stand in Trafalgar square
Received with pride
By those of us who care

A symbol of friendship
Given to us each Christmas
A token as a gift of thanks
Sent from Norway for us

Warm vibe to this, I love it. Short but sweet is the best way to describe this poem.

Well done
:)
