The third poem in my devotional booklet for Advent for my church family.

 

The Christmas Tree
 
Tim jumped out of bed all excited
and woke up Susie in a hurry,
“Today’s the day we go cut a tree
so we’ll really have to scurry.”
 
As they drove to the farm Dad said,
“the tree speaks of God’s endless love
which surrounds our lives all year long
giving warmth to our life like a glove.
 
“We’ll place a star at the tree’s top
like the star which they saw in the sky,
to show us the way to find Jesus
and it’s easy to see up so high.
 
“We’ll make Chrismons with Christian symbols
out of styrofoam and little beads
each symbol tells us of God’s love
and how God meets everyone’s needs.”
 
“We will hang strands of lights to remind
that Jesus is the Light of the World
we’ll put them on the branches
and soon they will be curled.
 
These light are like the candles
which were used many year before
and their brightness will help us
worship God whom we adore.”
