A Christmas Tree Full Of Memories

A Christmas Tree Full Of Memories

 

I carefully arrange my memories one by one

On every branch of my tall Christmas tree

Not resting until the entire  job is done

Climbing up and down on both knees

 

I recall how my brother loved this time of year

As I place his pinecone on the branch near me

Gold decorated balls I hang over there

A gift from an old friend,I no longer see

 

My mothers’glass ornament I place nearby

Remembering how she cherished every year

I take a deep breath,trying not to cry

And thinking of her,utter a silent prayer

 

As I sit back to admire my decorared tree

Memories come flooding back of holidays past

Counting myself lucky to have been loved by three

Cherishing tender moments,knowing they will last!
