The
first
Christmas
Tree…
Stripped Of leaves – bare of branches
The Gift lay not under – but on that tree
The star
a cruel
crown
And
One
Light
hung
down
Red stripes dried
On that tree – the Gift died…
The First Gift given – for us, He is risen

ReplyDeleteMay His richest blessings surround you this glorious season.
I attended a church one year that stripped its tree after Christmas and fashioned a cross from it. It stood at the front of the church through the Easter season. Was a most sobering reminder.
