Why do I like gazing at…
A Christmas Tree?
Because…Dear God
it reminds me of …Thee
The Wood…
reminds me of a Wooden Stable and Salvation’s Cross
The Limbs…
remind of Your Arms that keeps us warm from life's Frost
The Lights…
bring to mind…You…are the Light of the World
The Tinsel
tells of Your Word…dripping…with Wisdom Pearls
The Bulbs
are like this Planet…round…which You hold in Your Hand
The Garland
surrounds and glistens…like Your Love Band
And…the Star?
Led men to a barn…who sought…You…from afar
Absolutely nothing can take Your Place…
and I don’t need a prompt to envision Your Face
Still…I do enjoy a Christmas Tree
Because…Dear Jesus
it reminds me of …Thee
Is 55:12, & 14:8, Ps 96:12, 1Chron 16:33
