A Christmas Tree

By Paul McCann

 

A
           Christmas tree .
         Twinkling with lights
       Adorned with gold and silver tinsel .
   Softly sparkling in spirals on each branch .
  A  Christmas  tree  to  gather  around  in love.
    Christmas trees and families captured in the presence where angels dance .A Christmas tree stands in the window, many brightly lit Christmas trees stand in windows lighting up streets all over town, 
bless the tree full of joy and wonder .
        Little children
        they reach up
       then they grab
           suddenly  the tree
           comes falling down
