Christmas Trees
A Christmas Poem by James M. Bilbrey, Copyright ©1999

Sweet spring showers bring a fragrant bouquet
A soft wind blows and meadowlarks play
The pine covered hillside wild creatures reside
A season of growth as you reach for the sky.

Through long summer days you sit parched and brown
Your needles fall softly and cover the ground
The struggle so mighty the rewards seem so few
But from such despair a strong pine tree grew.

Now the days they grow short there’s a chill in the air
Changes are coming a fate we all share
The birds now seek cover in your boughs lush and green
Autumn winds are upon you it’s now time to dream.

You wear a white mantle as snow covers the ground
The song of the saw and soon you fall down
Was the struggle in vain for a seedling to grow
You’ll soon bask in splendour your purpose to know.

To be lifted once more in a glorious light
The spirit of Christmas you embody tonight
Decked out in splendour your time has now come
To herald the birth of God’s loving son.

My thoughts go out to Julie ... jokes suspended for a few days xxx

The best psychological health comes from admitting your faults and recognizing they're caused by someone else.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
