The Christmas tree is
the heart of the season,
and when I was a child
it filled me with reason,
to hope and to play
those holiday games;
sledding down hills
and chasing toy trains…
But at night I would creep
with my family asleep,
out to the tree
and I’d wish on that star…
And I never knew,
that my wish would come true,
but I knew when I met your son
outside that bar…
And then I met you
and I couldn’t have known,
the way that you’d change me
with the love that you’ve shown,
and I give you this symbol
of the gifts that you’ve given,
with it’s sweet Christmas spirit
and it’s packages hidden
by the wrappings you love,
that bright coded vestige,
But let me explain this
Christmas themed message.
Red is for love…
Blue means forever…
Green and Gold
for our times spent together,
With a star overhead
to show us the way,
and to always remind you
come each Christmas day,
of the lives that you’ve changed
with gifts that are tasteful,
the time that you give
which has never been wasteful,
the presents you share
while remaining so graceful…
May this Christmas gift
serve to show you I’m grateful,
for all that you’ve done
and all that you do…
And may all of your wishes
wished upon it
come true.
