This Christmas tree fills the Advent season
With endless joy and merriment among
Family members who gather, to spend
Quality time together, as one voice.
This Christmas tree, in all its glory, sends
Out a message that world peace is a choice:
From Ukraine, Sudan to the Middle East,
Everyone should share in the common feast.
This Christmas tree is a reference point
Of hope in an epoch so out of joint.
It abounds with tinsel dreams, dazzling lights;
Colourful baubles, toy soldiers, angels
Candy canes, reindeer, elves and snow white mice.
It's rich novelty that lasts the ages.
In figurative terms, it restores child-
Like sight. It seems to warm icy nights,
And punctuate life's poetic pages;
It melts frozen hearts. As the wind rages
Outside, it's satisfying to drink mulled wine
By a log fire, and imbibe, the sweet scent
Of pine needles. Magical things may lie,
Under the tree, in the form of presents.
Soon, they will be opened via keen eyes
Of utter delight, wonder and surprise.
